Overview
Offset codes help users to input for double entry bookkeeping. Double entry bookkeeping requires that there is a balance between debits and credits. A Government COA can be difficult for users. The debit or the credit may be obvious based on the context of revenue or expenditure.
FreeBalance Financials supports the concept of GL Offset codes where some codes can have default adjusting entries (debit/credit). This aids usability and prevents errors.
