Overview

If you prefer not to download transactions directly from your bank or your bank is not in the list of supported financial institutions, you can manually add your transactions instead.

Adding a manual account

  1. At the top of the Account Bar, click the + (plus sign) button.
  2. Select the Offline Account tab.

  1. Select which type of account you'd like to create.
  2. Name your account and select the type of transactions the account will be used for, then click Next. If you have multicurrency support enabled, you can also change the currency on this screen. 

  1. Enter your account's statement end date and statement ending balance amount, then click Next. The statement ending balance will become the opening balance of this new account. 
  2. Click Finish.

Adding transactions manually

Once you've set up your account register, you are ready to add your transactions manually.

  1. Select the account on the left to open your account register.
  2. Your cursor will be focused on the date. You can use your Tab key on your keyboard to move across each entry point (or Shift+Tab to tab backwards).  
  3. Once you've entered the transaction information, click the green Save icon on the right.
