Entering Transactions

Two methods of entering transactions into the ledger are available; using the transaction input form and entering the data directly into the transaction list. The transaction form is displayed by default and this is the method we will discuss first.

To enter a transaction, first ensure that you have selected the correct account. To start entering a new transaction, double-clicking the empty line below the last transaction, or click the New button in the input area at the bottom of the screen. The fields in the input area then become available for entering information.

The fields in the input area match the information fields in the transactions list. Additional fields include the Memo field, for a more detailed description of the transaction and a Category selection. The Split button allows for the transaction to be split into multiple categories.
