Entries post themselves
Finalizing an invoice debits receivables and credits sales and VAT payable. A payment moves the money from receivables to the bank. Cancelling an unpaid invoice reverses its entry. Supplier bills and the payments you make on them post their own entries too, and exchange gains or losses on foreign-currency payments get their own lines. Debits and credits are checked to balance, every time.
- Each payment posts its own entry
- A cancellation reverses the entry instead of deleting it
- A trial balance for any day, with a plain answer whether the books balance
