Adding an opening balance

Adding an opening balance

Parents may owe your nursery a payment, or they may have accrued credit, before they’ve been added to eymanage. To account for this, you can add an opening balance to the child profile.
  1. Click on  Children in the sidebar.
  2. Click on a child’s name to bring up their profile.
  3. Click on the Invoices tab on the left.
  4. In the top right, click Create+ > Opening Balance. 
  5. Fill out the details of the opening balance. Insert a negative number into the Amount field if the account is in credit (for example, -10).
  6. Click Save.
