The Accounting module is Jadenet’s complete financial management solution, built specifically for the needs of freight forwarders and logistics providers. Unlike general-purpose accounting software, this module understands the freight industry — the way costs flow from a sea freight job into your books, how multi-currency transactions work across air and land freight, and what financial reports a logistics business actually needs to manage profitability. Every transaction recorded across Jadenet’s operational modules flows into Accounting automatically, keeping your books current without manual re-entry.

​
Designed for freight forwarders

General accounting software treats a freight forwarding business the same as any other. Jadenet’s Accounting module does not. It is built around the financial structure of a logistics operation — where revenue and costs are job-based, where multiple currencies are the norm, and where the relationship between shipment operations and financial outcomes needs to be visible at both the job level and the company level.

Job-based costing

Every sea, air, and land freight job generates cost and revenue data that flows directly into the accounting records — no separate entry required.

Multi-currency accounting

Record transactions in any currency with exchange rate management, so your books reflect the real values of your international operations.

Freight-specific chart of accounts

Jadenet’s accounting structure is aligned to the way freight forwarders categorize revenue and costs — freight income, handling charges, documentation fees, and more.

​
How financial data flows into Accounting

Every operational module in Jadenet contributes financial data to the Accounting module. Understanding this flow helps you see how your operations and finances stay connected.
When you record costs and issue customer invoices in the Sea Freight module, those figures are posted to the corresponding accounts receivable, accounts payable, and revenue or expense ledger accounts in Accounting. Closing a sea freight job finalizes the financial entries for that job.
Air freight job costs — airline charges, handling fees, surcharges — and customer invoices flow into Accounting as the job progresses. Multi-currency transactions are converted and recorded at the exchange rate applied at the time of each entry.
Transport costs, driver allowances, and customer invoices from land freight jobs are posted to Accounting automatically. Like the other freight modules, the financial data is linked back to the originating job for traceability.
Settled cash advance vouchers update your accounting records with the disbursed amounts and corresponding expense categories, ensuring petty cash and operational disbursements are fully reflected in your books.
Every payment and receipt recorded in the Cash and Bank module posts to the general ledger in real time, updating your cash accounts, accounts payable, and accounts receivable balances automatically.

​
Core accounting features

General ledger

Maintain a complete general ledger with all journal entries, organized by account, date, and transaction type — with full drill-down to the originating job or document.

Accounts receivable

Track all outstanding customer invoices across sea, air, and land freight jobs. Monitor aging, follow up on overdue accounts, and record receipts against open invoices.

Accounts payable

Manage vendor and carrier invoices, track payment due dates, and record payments — with visibility into what is owed and when it needs to be paid.

Financial reporting

Generate profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports tailored to the reporting needs of a freight forwarding business.

​
Financial reporting

The Accounting module provides reporting that covers the financial performance and position of your logistics business. Reports you can generate include:
  • Profit and Loss (P&L): Revenue and costs by period, with the ability to filter by freight mode, job, or customer
  • Balance Sheet: A snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at any point in time
  • Accounts Receivable Aging: Which customers owe you money and how long it has been outstanding
  • Accounts Payable Aging: Which vendor and carrier invoices are due and overdue
  • Job Profitability: Revenue versus cost at the individual job level — available for sea, air, and land freight jobs
Use job profitability reports to identify which lanes, customers, or freight modes are generating the most margin. This data helps you make better pricing and operational decisions over time.

Getting started with Accounting

1

Review your chart of accounts

Before recording transactions, review the default chart of accounts in Jadenet to ensure the account structure aligns with your business. You can customize account names and add new accounts to match your reporting requirements.
2

Configure opening balances

If you are migrating from another system, enter your opening balances for each account so that Jadenet’s books start from an accurate position. Your implementation team can guide you through this process.
3

Activate your operational modules

Ensure your Sea Freight, Air Freight, Land Freight, Cash and Bank, and Voucher Management modules are active. Once active, financial data from these modules flows into Accounting automatically — there is no additional configuration required.
4

Run your first reports

Once transactions are flowing, generate a trial balance or P&L report to verify that your financial data is posting correctly. Review the figures against your expected opening position before proceeding with regular operations.
Jadenet’s Accounting module is backed by over 20 years of logistics industry expertise. The default account structure, workflows, and reports reflect the practical needs of freight forwarders — not a generic business template.
Ensure your opening balances are entered accurately before processing live transactions. Incorrect opening balances will affect all subsequent reports and may require a correction journal to resolve.
