    Basically you can just post it in an General journal.

    But if you do it by the start of your fiscal year i recommend you use the ultimo date for the year before your start up year.

    So if it is your opening balance 01.01.22 you can post it with the date U31.12.21 in that way you will not get your opening balance as a part of your net change for the opening year.

    If you have your chart of accounts in place there is not really much configuration you need to do to get your opening balance into the syste,. You can basically just start registering your journal.

    If you do not have your chart of accounts in place you need to start there.
