PART 2: Creating documents in Xero
For this part of the assessment you will be required to enter a number of Adam’s transactions into the computerised software accounting package Xero.
You will need to access the Swinburne Accounting Practice organisation, using the Xero account that you created in your Cloud Computing class, and record the following
2.1 The commencement and drawings general journals entries.
2.2 The 2 supplier invoices received in the mail – due dates for these will be Dec 31st
2.3 A customer invoice as per the details provided in the table.
Instructions are provided below to assist you with this task,
2.1 Adam’s opening General Journal entry is reproduced below. You are not required to enter the opening deposit ($15,000) into the bank account, as Xero handles this in a specific way that you will learn in later modules.
So, for now your journal in Xero needs to reflect the following assets and liabilities that have been contributed.
2019
Nov
1 Adam Grow commenced business by contributing the following assets and liabilities:-
• Stock of supplies valued at $8,000
• Motor Vehicle valued at $28,000
• Computer Equipment valued at $4,500
• Fixtures & Fitting valued at $7,000
o loan on the Motor Vehicle with ABZ Bank for $10,000.
o Capital: Adam = $??
24 Adam took home $495 (inc. GST) worth of plants and other supplies for his own garden.

How to enter a manual journal in Xero.
Open the Swin Accounting Practice Xero File.
Click on the plus sign at the top right in the task bar and select Manual Journal
If it doesn’t appear there, use the following steps:-
• Select the Accounting tab and select Reports
• From the Accounting Group of reports, select Journal Report
• Click on
When you are in the New Manual Journal screen, you can record your opening general journal entry.
Enter a narration, the date and record the assets and liabilities to the relevant accounts. For the description enter ‘Commencement Entry’.
Note that there is no GST applicable to assets and liabilities contributed by the owner to the business. (BAS excluded)
Ensure that the Debits and Credits balance and Post the journal.
You are now ready to record the Drawings journal entry. Repeat the above process. When you record the drawings, your completed entry should appear as per the example below follows

Note that there is no need to record a ‘line’ item for the GST. In accounting software, when GST is applicable the transaction should be coded accordingly to indicate this and then the system will work out the GST and allocate it to the GST account. In the above example, the entry to purchases is coded GST on Expenses. The result will be that the $32 tax will be credited to the GST paid account and the $320 to the Purchases account. You will see this in the printed report
How to Print the Journals
• Select the Accounting tab and select Reports
• From the Accounting Group of reports, select Journal Report
