Type of Accounting Entries

In Novohit the accounting entries are:
Automatic: those that are generated in the operational modules (Front Office and POS) and administrative modules (Accounts Receivable, Warehouse incoming/departures, Accounts Payable, Banking). With these entries, the accounting register of the entire company's operation is covered. The accounting entries generated automatically, either partially or completely, are not subject to any modification of information.
Manual: those whose registration is typed directly by the user, it can be any type of accounting entry such as income, banks, warehouse incoming or departures. However, with the use of automatic registers, they should only be used to register the "Journal/Transfer" type of entry for recording adjustments or re-classification of errors in the operation, recording taxes, valuations of foreign currency accounts, etc.

Accounting Entry Status 

New: the accounting entry has no details recorded, only the header of the entry. The actions of printing, modifying the information, deleting and updating can be performed.
Register: the accounting entry is at register level, you can print, modify the information, delete and update.
Update: the data or information of the accounting entry cannot be modified, since when updating, the balances of the accounting accounts are affected, which will allow the accounting and financial reports to be made. In order to update the accounting entry, it must be balanced (i.e., it must have the same amount in debits and credits). The accounting entries status must be changed to Register from Update in case any change needs to be made to the entry.
