Review the ledger
The ledger is the running record of every accounting entry SKU.io has generated from your operations. Review it to check that your books reflect what happened, and to drill into any figure.
Before you begin
- Accounting generation should be on (Accounting → Settings → Generation), so there are entries to read. See how automatic accounting works.
Check the health of your books
- Go to Accounting. The Dashboard opens with a snapshot: whether generation is running, how many documents are waiting, and a Balance integrity check confirming Books balanced — every entry's debits equal its credits.
Browse the entries
- Open the Transactions tab. Each row is one entry, with its reference, type, date, total, and line count.
- Narrow the list with the filters — by Type (invoice, fulfillment, bill), Date, Source, or Nominal Code — or jump straight to a slice with the Invoices, Journals, and Purchase Orders sub-tabs.
- Use the search box to find an entry by reference, amount, or counterparty.
Read an entry
- Click a row to expand it. You see the entry's lines as debits and credits against their accounts — for a fulfillment, Cost of Goods Sold debited and Inventory Control credited — with the Totals row proving the two sides match.
- Click Open entry detail for the full page, including the source document it was generated from.
The Sync column shows Blocked when no external accounting system is connected — that means the entry lives in SKU.io only, not that anything is wrong.
Next steps
- Read your financial statements — roll the entries up into an Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
- Chart of accounts reference — what each account holds.
