Opening Balances

The app's zero point: before real work begins, you enter the "current state" — how much is in each till, how much each customer owes or is owed. This page only exists in "opening mode" (a fresh install) and disappears forever after final lock-in.

Steps

Record balances: for each account, enter the currency, amount, and nature (debit/credit). The other side of every voucher is the system's "Opening" account.
Set the board rate: set a rate for every currency you've recorded a balance in (board rate).
Overall revaluation: "Preview" first, then "Save" — the opening account's net position is converted to the reference currency at the board's mid rate and moved to Capital; the system balances out.
Final lock: typing LOCK puts the system into live mode. Warning: this is irreversible — even the admin can't reopen it afterward.

Fields

Field	Description
Account	Customer, till, bank, wallet, or asset (system accounts aren't allowed).
Currency and amount	The starting balance in that currency.
Balance nature	Debit = owed to us, or it's our own holding (till/bank/wallet); Credit = they're owed by us.

Notes

Before locking, you can delete any opening voucher; the balances revert.
If you haven't set a rate for a currency, revaluing it fails and locking isn't possible.
Judge the nature from the exchange's point of view: till/bank/wallet holdings = debit; a customer who is owed = credit.
