Getting started
Opening entries, the suspense account, and proving the balance before you go live.
Opening balances go in as a single opening entry dated the day before your first live period. That keeps the go-live boundary visible in the ledger forever.
Run the trial balance for the opening date. Debits and credits must agree and the suspense account must be zero before you post anything else.
Create a workspace, import a chart of accounts and post a document. The ledger underneath is the same one that will carry you at ten times the size.
