Journal Entries

Journal Entries is where finance posts manual adjustments, accruals, and corrections in AlignMint. Create balanced multi-line entries with memos and attachments. Create the entry yourself, save a draft while you gather support, and post when it is ready. Voiding a posted entry creates an automatic reversing line so the audit trail stays intact.

Open Fund Accounting → Journal Entries. Period locks and reconciliation rules may block edits on cleared lines—fix source transactions in Expenses, Bills, or Deposits when possible instead of layering manual entries on top. Donation revenue should flow from the Donor Hub and deposit tools, not generic quick entry. Available on PlusProEnterprise. Search includes optional entry titles so you can find month-end adjusting entries years later without scrolling the full ledger.

Trial Balance is still a closed hub tile. Before you send statements to leadership, check the Balance Sheet and Income Statement so debits and credits still tie after your adjusting batch.

Every financial event ultimately becomes journal lines. AlignMint enforces debits equal credits on every posted entry so reports stay trustworthy.
