After the recent updates journal entries are not showing options to select accounts payable and receivable and many others like employees etc. Is there any new method to do the tasks it previously served
I’m a little confused. Why are you using journal entries for transactions with suppliers, customers and employees?
I thought such entries should be extremely rare in Manager.
This is one of the purpose of journal entries which was very well served previously before updates.
Its used when:
Supplier and customer are same and no payments are made from either side. Instead receivable and payable are adjusted via journal entries . This was the basic concept of manager.io that whatever happens physically should be noted in manager in the same way. Since there is no cash or money movement you must not use payments and receipts in the case above.
Also with employees.
When you have to adjust sales invoices to employees from their pay slips / employee clearing account.
@lubos can explain better how extensive and practical previous journal entries were. Can we please have the logical fix
@fahadalarab, all the options you mentioned are available:
The group headings that used to appear are no longer visible. The developer has responded in another thread saying this is intentional.
@fahadalarab If anything, new implementation of journal entries has even more possibilities than before.
For example, there was an issue where it wasn’t possible to post into built-in accounts on P&L side. New implementation allows that.
@fahadalarab can you click Customize button and make sure Customers and Suppliers tabs are checked?

@lubos The Journal entry account field fails to bring out some account codes in 21.3.40. I noticed that accounts with names starting with numbers e.g “7.5% WHT Account” appears without its code so you cannot search for it with its COA code. Also, some income statement account show without their codes.

Have you also created at least one customer, supplier, and employee? The accounts will not appear until there is at least one subsidiary ledger. See the Note in the section titled Activate automatic accounts in this Guide: https://www.manager.io/guides/9181.
What version of Manager are you using?
I restarted my cloud server few days back but still same issue
Ok. I don’t use the Cloud version so I will leave further analysis to orhers better qualified.
However, I would still say that giving the version number you are using would be a help instead of saying “I restarted my cloud server a few days back” which is not very specific
¨Accounts Receivable¨ is not appearing. Is it meant not to appear or is it an error?
This is an image of my chart of accounts:
Then, when I go to ¨Journal Entries¨ the account does not appear on the list.
Here is an Edit Screen of a transaction I made on March 2nd 2021 and the account was appearing.
Maybe I am missing something here, but I can not find it any more. Maybe it has changed the account name?
By the way. I am on Cloud Version (21.3.40)
No, @INTERC, you changed the account name from Accounts receivable to Customers. So it will not appear as Accounts receivable.
Yes, I know I have changed the account name. From ¨Accounts Receivable¨ to ¨Customers¨.
In the second screenshot I was typing ¨cus¨ as ¨customers¨ and it is not appearing.
Dear Sir,
How to make journal entries if using desktop version
Because i must make journal entries for prepaid expense.
For example, we paid rent for 1 year, so that rent is prepaid expense, then i must make journal entries for the monthly expense.
All explained here Make journal entries | Manager
i already followed the explanation, but can’t create
Journal entries.pdf (305.0 KB)
Not sure the effort is worth the reporting benefit but it is possible.
- what COA entries do you have for rent expenses and prepaid rent assets
- what are you entering on the journal entry so far (screenshot)
- what part of journal entry is not working for you
Ps
@atha please post screenshots as images not PDF files so they are displayed in the forum.
