An accounting entry is an entry in the ledger that reflects the economic movements of a person or institution. It is generated each time the company posts an entry related to the activity it carries out.
In Holded, all your entries are created and managed, in the Accounting> General ledger section

When creating your entries you can choose default entries, that is, entries already structured by Holded, which will automatically generate the entries corresponding to the tax base and the tax quota, with their respective accounting account. Each annotation generated by default can be edited or deleted, depending on your needs.
For example, selecting a Purchase Invoice with retention of rent will load the structure of said entry with 4 lines: one for the total amount of the invoice in which the amount must be reported in the credit column, another for VAT ( 472) and for personal income tax (4751) and finally another for the tax base, which in this case will reflect an expense. By incorporating the total amount of the invoice, the rest of the amounts will be calculated automatically according to the predefined entry selected.
Keep in mind that Holded works by default with an 8-digit chart of accounts, if your chart of accounts has a longer length, we recommend you delete the Holded accounting chart and upload your own
If what you need is to generate an entry manually, or you cannot find the entry that best suits you among the Holded presets, you just have to select the type of entry you need.
