Overview

Journal Entries are the logs of all the transactions in your organization that have accounting implications.

Client account transactions will be logged automatically by Kwara after you link your products with GL Accounts.

Other transactions will need to be entered manually such as payroll or asset depreciation and expenses.

Automatic journal entries are logged when customer transactions are posted, allowing you to generate accounting reports on real-time data. To make the audit process easier, the journal entries are also linked to the correspondent customer account transaction.
