For that reason you may have to wait until transactions are reflected and only then reconcile each of your entries by entering 'r' or 'R' in the corresponding cells. If you are issuing a check or receiving a deposit by check, your transaction may not appear immediately on your bank account. When this step is completed, you are ready to start recording your transactions as they occur. If you have no opening balance, you may enter '0' or leave it blank.

First, to ensure accuracy, you have to enter your Opening Balance if required, which essentially is the same as the 'Balance Carried Forward'. The main worksheet, labeled 'Register', is where you will spend most of your time, but before you start recording your transactions, there are a couple of things you may need to do. The list already contains some predefined transaction types, which, if necessary, you can customize and add more rows for any new transaction type.

You can add and define transaction types on the Settings worksheet of this template.
