Unlock or lock a ledger account for manual registration

Some ledger accounts in the chart of accounts are locked for manual accounting. This applies to accounts for purchases and sales and for cash and bank accounts. This is the default setting, because sales and purchase invoices are posted to the ledger automatically when they are registered. Cash and bank transactions are posted when you match your bank statement from the bank to your accounting entries.

If you nonetheless need to create a manual journal entry for a locked ledger account, you can unlock the account.
