Configuration

Opening balance and cash adjustment

Set the starting financial position for a fiscal year, carry forward dues, and correct later differences with a documented cash adjustment.

Updated 12 September 2026

Opening balance is the financial position you start from. Cash adjustment is the controlled way to correct a difference later. Both are in the same place because both make the figures in Kuver Books match your real accounts.

Open it

Go to Configuration and select Opening Balance. The module offers three things: create an opening balance, import one in bulk, and view the history. It also links to the cash adjustment tools.

Create an opening balance

  1. Open the Opening Balance module.
  2. Click Create Entry.

A form with a table opens. A reminder asks you to check that the values are correct, so that opening and closing balances stay accurate.

Enter each row:

  • Serial number.
  • Select Source, from the dropdown.
  • Enter the source name.
  • Enter the balance amount.

Click Add Another Source for each further account, then Add Opening Balance to save, or Cancel to discard. Saved entries move to the history for tracking.

Each source is a financial account or entity. Its value becomes the starting point for your accounts. Enter what customers and suppliers really owed on the cut-off date (the date your opening balances start from). Your first receivable reports (money customers owe you) and payable reports (money you owe suppliers) start from these balances.

Import opening balances

Import Opening Balance loads them in bulk using the standard four-step workflow. Download the sample and copy the column names.

Opening balance history

The history lists every opening balance record created, with filtering and export. You can trace any figure in a report back to the entry that created it.

Cash adjustment

Cash adjustment corrects a difference between the balance in Kuver Books and your real records. To see past adjustments, open the adjustment section and click View Cash Adjustment. The history lists the name, date, type of income or expense and amount. A view icon opens the full detail.

To create one:

  1. Click Create Cash Adjustment.
  2. Read the guidance popup and click I Understand. It states that a supporting document is required, that the tool is only for real balance corrections, and that it is intended for use at fiscal year end.
  3. Enter the Adjustment Name, required.
  4. Choose the Adjustment Type, income or expense.
  5. Enter the Adjustment Date, required.
  6. Enter the Adjustment Amount, required.
  7. Upload the supporting document. PNG, JPG, JPEG and PDF are accepted.
  8. Add a description.
  9. Click Create Adjustment, or Cancel.

Each adjustment changes your financial balance reports directly and is recorded for audit. The supporting document is required. Use a cash adjustment only at year end, to correct a real difference that a document proves. Do not use it to make a figure look tidy.
