An entry is a record within a worksheet that contains relevant supporting details. The primary distinction between entries in default and generic worksheets lies in the amount column:
Default Worksheet: Includes an amount column for reconciling entries to the account balance.
Generic Worksheet: Does not include an amount column, as reconciliation is not required.
How to create an entry
Step 1: Open the worksheet
Navigate to the worksheet where you want to add an entry.
Step 2: Add an entry
Click the Add Entry button.
Enter the following details:
Date
Reference (automatically populated)
Description
Attachments
Amount (default worksheet only)
Click Save to finalise the entry.
ℹ️ Note: To edit an entry, select the checkbox at the left of the row and click the Edit button that appears.
Using quick entries
A quick entry simplifies the process by automatically pulling through the amount needed to reconcile the worksheet. If there are no other entries, the quick entry amount will match the account amount.
Using quick descriptions
Quick Descriptions provide a set of generic, reusable descriptions to make documentation faster and more consistent. Examples include:
“Per Attached”
“Per Trial Balance”
“Balance Brought Forward”
ℹ️ Note: If your firm needs to update or customise quick descriptions, refer to the Updating quick descriptions article.
The below example utilises both:
A quick entry - by populating the $1 unreconciled amount
A quick description - 'Rounding' selected from the dropdown
Reconciling a worksheet
For a default worksheet, the total of the entries must equal the account’s balance (after accounting for any journal adjustments).
If there is a discrepancy, the variance will be highlighted in the Unreconciled Amount box. This must be resolved before the worksheet can be fully completed or reviewed.
