Why Are Debit and Credit Amounts the Same

It's by design - a journal entry can't be saved unless its debits and credits balance, which is the core rule of double-entry bookkeeping.

Steps

  1. Review the Journal Summary panel while building the entry.
  2. "Balanced" confirms the totals are equal.
  3. If the totals differ, the form will prompt you to correct the line items before saving.
