 NEW  Xero Manual Journals are generally available.

A Journal is a manual recording of transactions and adjustments to your accounting file.

Journals allow you to transfer funds between accounts and ensure that your financial records are balanced according to specific requirements.
They should be considered as a final option for recording transactions.

Here are some common uses for Xero Manual Journals:

  • To record accruals (revenue, expenses, interest and taxes) and deferrals,

  • To record correction entries, create reversing entries, reclassify transactions (from one account to another) and adjust the accounts,

  • To account for depreciation expenses and amortisation, 

  • To record the transfer between different accounts or departments within the Organisation.


 NEW  QuickBooks Online Journal Entries are generally available.

A Journal Entry is a manual recording of transactions and adjustments to your accounting file.

Journal Entries allow you to transfer funds between accounts and ensure that your financial records are balanced according to specific requirements.
They should be considered as a final option for recording transactions.

It's advisable to use Journal Entries only if you have a solid understanding of accounting principles or when a professional accountant advises.

Additionally, it's essential to have full comprehension of debits and credits to utilise Journal Entries accurately.

Here are a few reasons for creating a Journal Entry:

  • To enter debits and credits manually, like in traditional accounting systems

  • To transfer money between income and expense accounts

  • To transfer money from an asset, liability, or equity account to an income or expense account

 NEW  Xero accrual reports on the item level and report export to a Manual Journal are available as beta.

Accrual accounting records revenues and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when the respective cash transactions are made.
This approach offers a more accurate representation of a company’s financial performance and obligations.

Accrual reports are crucial as they reflect expenses that were incurred within an accounting period but are not yet posted to the general ledger.
This includes expenses like Bills for services provided but not yet approved, or Purchase Orders for goods already delivered but not yet billed.

Accruals in ApprovalMax provide a comprehensive solution that allows you to create accrual reports, generate journals based on them, submit them for approval and, ultimately, post them to Xero.

If you want to enable this beta feature for your ApprovalMax Organisation, please contact us.
