Add a new account

Accounts are the record holders for transactions and transfers. Money moves from one account to another.

In a double-entry bookkeeping system (such as this one) there is a "from" account and a "to" account, even when money is created from thin air (such as interest, or when new accounts already have a positive balance).

Your first account should be a checking or savings account. Enter its name and if relevant the current balance. Check your bank statements for the last current balance you can find.

{{Form::open(['class' => 'form-horizontal','url' => route('accounts.store')])}}
{{ Form::label('name', 'Account name', ['class' => 'col-sm-3 control-label'])}}
{{ Form::text('name', Input::old('name'), ['class' => 'form-control']) }} @if($errors->has('name'))

{{$errors->first('name')}}

@else

Use something descriptive such as "checking account" or "My Bank Main Account".

@endif
{{ Form::label('openingbalance', 'Opening balance', ['class' => 'col-sm-3 control-label'])}}
{{ Form::input('number','openingbalance', Input::old('openingbalance'), ['step' => 'any', 'class' => 'form-control'])}} @if($errors->has('openingbalance'))

{{$errors->first('openingbalance')}}

@else

What's the current balance of this new account?

@endif
{{ Form::label('openingbalancedate', 'Opening balance date', ['class' => 'col-sm-3 control-label'])}}
{{ Form::input('date','openingbalancedate', Input::old('openingbalancedate') ?: date('Y-m-d'), ['class' => 'form-control']) }} @if($errors->has('openingbalancedate'))

{{$errors->first('openingbalancedate')}}

@else

When was this the balance of the new account? Since your bank statements may lag behind, update this date to match the date of the last known balance of the account.
