Account journal

The journal of a specific account generally looks the same as the main journal, with one exception: Balance is additionally displayed in the table. The balance is displayed for every book entry.

Also the "Add" dialog changes: The selected account is locked and every entry is booked on this account:

You'll find a new input field "Type" next to the date field. Here you specify if the book entry is incoming or outgoing related to the selected account. For a bank account you could also speak of "earnings" (= incoming) or "expenses" (= outgoing). To select the type very quickly, just type "i" for incoming and "o" for outgoing and switch to the next field with the TAB key.

The selected account is, depending on the type, locked in Debit or Credit and cannot be changed (the field is disabled). You only have to select the contra-account.

All other input fields are described under Edit book entry.
