In 2024 we purchased a fixed asset, we had cash in hand and paid it March 2024 we failed to input the asset now when i back date it fails to reflect the cash we had??

You input the asset by creating a Journal Entry, Speedkills.

 

Before doing so, can you verify how you record the purchase of the asset in your records? 
 

Here's how:
 

  1. Click on either +New.
  2. Choose Journal entry under Others.
  3. On the first line, pick an account in the Account field. Based on whether you need to debit or credit the account, input the amount in the appropriate column.
  4. For the next line, select the corresponding account you are transferring money to or from.
  5. Enter the same amount in the opposite column, depending on whether you recorded a debit or credit in the first line.
  6. Verify that the amounts match - one line should have the amount in the Credit column, and the other in the Debit column, ensuring the accounts are balanced.
  7. Add details in the memo section to explain the purpose of the journal entry.
  8. Click Save and new or Save and close.

 

To ensure accuracy, consider consulting your accountant for guidance on selecting the correct accounts.
