# Step 1: Customize Journal Entries

Customizing your journal entries is done in the [Accounting Policies](https://app.integraltreasury.xyz/policy-center/accounting-policies) page. You can [customize roll-up methods](#step-1-configure-your-journal-entry-bundling-options), and whether you want Integral to automatically post journal entries.

### Configure your Journal Entry Bundling Options

Depending on the quantity of transactions, you may opt for different bundling methods: individual journal entries (default), bundled journal entries, or summed journal entries.

### **What’s the difference between each journal entry bundling option?**

In Integral, there are 3 different Journal Entry options:

1. Individual Journal Entries (default)
2. Bundled Journal Entries
3. Summed up Journal Entries

Let’s assume you sync 3 deposits and 1 withdrawal that occurred on the same day to your ERP:

| Date         | Type       | From       | To             | Token Amount | USD Amount | Category |
| ------------ | ---------- | ---------- | -------------- | ------------ | ---------- | -------- |
| Jan. 1, 2023 | Deposit    | Seaport    | Royalty Wallet | 1 ETH        | $1,500     | Income   |
| Jan. 1, 2023 | Deposit    | Seaport    | Royalty Wallet | 0.5 ETH      | $750       | Income   |
| Jan. 1, 2023 | Deposit    | Seaport    | Royalty Wallet | 2 ETH        | $3,000     | Income   |
| Jan. 1, 2023 | Withdrawal | Ops Wallet | 0x…            | 0.5 ETH      | $750       | Payroll  |

### **Individual Journal Entries**

Four separate journal entries will be posted, one for each transaction.

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account        | Debit  | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-001-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Royalty Wallet | $1,500 |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $1,500 | Deposit     |

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account        | Debit | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ----- | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-002-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Royalty Wallet | $750  |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |       | $750   | Deposit     |

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account        | Debit  | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-003-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Royalty Wallet | $3,000 |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $3,000 | Deposit     |

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account    | Debit | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | ---------- | ----- | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-004-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Ops Wallet |       | $750   | Withdrawal  |
|                  |              | Payroll    | $750  |        | Withdrawal  |

### **Bundled Journal Entries**

*Transaction volume is between 500-1k transactions/month. The advantage of using this method is you get a complete audit trail directly in your ERP for each transaction with fewer journal entries.*

You will see **2** journal entries, one for each Debit <> Credit pair, with journal lines for each transaction in each.

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account        | Debit  | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-001-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Royalty Wallet | $1,500 |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $1,500 | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Royalty Wallet | $750   |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $750   | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Royalty Wallet | $3,000 |        | Deposit     |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $3,000 | Deposit     |

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account    | Debit | Credit | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------ | ---------- | ----- | ------ | ----------- |
| INT-002-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Ops Wallet |       | $750   | Withdrawal  |
|                  |              | Payroll    | $750  |        | Withdrawal  |

### **Summed Journal Entries**

*Used when: Transaction volume is larger than 20k transactions / month.*

You will see **1** journal entry, with all Debit <> Credit pairs as individual lines.

| Journal Entry ID | Date         | Account        | Debit  | Credit | Description              |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ------ | ------ | ------------------------ |
| INT-001-010123   | Jan. 1, 2023 | Royalty Wallet | $5,250 |        | Quantity of transactions |
|                  |              | Income         |        | $5,250 | Quantity of transactions |
|                  |              | Ops Wallet     |        | $750   | Quantity of transactions |
|                  |              | Payroll        | $750   |        | Quantity of transactions |

### What Cost Basis Method should I select?

Each business has a different cost basis method they use for their accounting policies, based on their revenue model or jurisdiction. While Integral cannot advise our customers on which one is best, we offer 4 different options for you to choose:

1. **ACB:** Adjusted Cost Base. This method calculates the cost of an investment by adjusting its original value for various factors.
2. **HIFO:** Highest In, First Out. This method assumes the highest cost items are sold first.
3. **LIFO:** Last In, First Out. This method assumes the newest inventory items are sold first.
4. **FIFO:** First In, First Out. This method assumes the oldest inventory items are sold first.

To select the Cost Basis Method best suited for your organization, head to **Policies -> Accounting:**
