Steps to Manage Journal Entries & Items in Odoo 17 Accounting


A journal entry in Odoo’s Double-entry auditing system included the accounting date, sum, description, and references for a particular transaction. It is necessary to have at least one line with an equal quantity of debits and credits.

Journal entries are the discrete lines that make up a diary entry. The Journal Entries platform is accessible to users through the Accounting menu of the module. 


Accounting Journal Entries


By selecting the "New" button, users can add new journal entries to the list view, which also shows the date, number, partner, reference, journal, company, total, and status of each journal entry. 


Accounting New Journal Entries


Select the "New Many2One" option from the form’s options. A basic relational field type called a many2one field creates a many-to-one relationship between two models, making it possible to link records between them. 

In the 'Reference' area, you can list the pertinent sources for this journal entry. The relevant field displays the "Accounting Date."

Select the appropriate journal and add entries one at a time by using the 'Add a line' option found under the 'Journal Items' tab area.

Additional details about the journal entry, including their fiscal positions, company, auto-post, etc., can be found under the "Other Info" tab. Next, use the "Post" button to publish the journal and save the data.
