How to record a transaction

This is the thing you will do most often, so it is built to be fast. The input sheet sits permanently at the bottom of the book — you never have to navigate anywhere to record something.

Open the book

The entries of the current month are listed at the top, the input sheet is at the bottom. The balance in the header updates with every entry.
