Adding a transaction

Through / , it is very easy and straightforward to add a transaction. As shown on Fig.Recording a debit transaction, several things are inputed :

a reference 'Ref:' for this transaction, along with the date, which also can be chosen by clicking on the calendar icon ;
the journal it will be written to, set automatically to the journal of the selected year (which can be changed) or leaving the choice between several journals for the selected year if more than one journal has been created for this year ;
a label for this transaction ;
if inputed account's property for VAT is either 'Optional' or 'Required', a tax menu ;
the account number) this transaction line is done unto ; if unsure, displays a small account search tool by beginning number/label similar to the one explained above ;
the Debit/Credit toggle ;
the amount of the transaction line.

**Figure:** Recording a debit line on account '410102' : the corresponding tax line is calculated and added automatically.

Its counterpart is then registered in a similar way by entering the counterpart account ; as illustrated below, the balance is null and therefore transaction can be validated by clicking the button a last time.

**Figure 6.35:** The counterpart has been recorded in a similar way as above (on the corresponding counterpart account and 'Credit' chosen instead of debit) and balance is therefore null : posting can be validated.
