A manual journal can include more than the initial two lines. Use Add line when the supporting adjustment needs another account or a separate explanation. Additional lines must still form one coherent balanced entry in the company's reporting currency.
Open the editable draft, select Add line, and fill in the new line's account and amount. Add a description if it explains a distinct part of the adjustment. The form supports up to 100 lines, and every included line needs an account and one positive debit or credit.
Adding an empty row does not create an optional placeholder that can be ignored at save time. Complete it or remove it before saving. Recheck the totals after adding a row, particularly when the new amount is an allocation that should reduce an existing line rather than increase the whole entry.
For a larger spreadsheet, use Import journal lines to validate the rows together. Keep unrelated adjustments separate when their dates, reasons or supporting records differ. Splitting an entry into understandable journals should preserve the correct accounting treatment and a clear trail to its source.
