View, search, filter, and export all ledger journal entries in MediFlux. See manual entries, auto-generated purchase journals, and initialization entries.

1 min read

The Journals page is where you can see every accounting entry that has been posted to your ledgers. This includes manual journals you create yourself, automatic entries generated from purchases and sales, and the one-time initialization entry that is created when your Chart of Accounts is first set up.

Navigate here from the sidebar: Accounting → Journals.

By default the page shows entries for the current month. If your store is newly initialized, you will usually see only one entry: the Accounting Initialization journal.

Auto-generated and reversed entries

Auto-generated and reversed entries

Purchase-related journals showing POSTED, REVERSAL, and REVERSED statuses.


Newly initialized stores

When you first set up accounting, MediFlux creates a single journal entry:

  • Journal ID: something like JE-2026-08-00004
  • Type: ACCOUNTING INITIALIZATION
  • Description: Entries Added On Initialization Of Chart Of Accounts
  • Status: POSTED

This is normal. As you start recording sales, purchases, and manual journals, more entries will appear in the list.

Common mistakes

Looking at the wrong date range

The list defaults to the current month. If you expect to see older entries and the list looks empty, open the date range picker and select a wider period or Last Month.

Confusing REVERSED and REVERSAL

REVERSED means the original entry has been cancelled by a later reversal entry. REVERSAL is the status of the entry that performed the reversal. Both appear in the list so you have a complete audit trail.
