A Capsule Recipe turns a transaction into a complete schedule of future journal entries. Jaz calculates the amounts, dates, and debits/credits automatically and posts each entry on its scheduled date.

All entries are grouped under one capsule, so the original transaction and every scheduled entry stay connected in one place.

This is useful for accounting events that span multiple periods. For example, a 12-month prepaid rent paid in full today but expense is spread and recognized monthly.

Start creating or editing a supported transaction (Invoice, Bill, Journal, or Direct Cash In).

Click on the capsule icon for each transaction

Choose to attach a recipe instead of a plain capsule.

Select a recipe.

Fill in the required fields. Amount and currency are pre-filled from the transaction.

Review the live preview. Every scheduled entry, date, and total is shown before anything posts.

Save the transaction to create the recipe transactions.

Your capsule will now be saved and accessible in Data Reports → Capsule.

The preview is a live summary of the full schedule. It shows every scheduled entry, its date, and the totals before you save. Nothing posts until you save the transaction.

Use the preview to verify the schedule is correct, including any rounding notes.

Loan Amortization schedules a monthly journal for principal and interest until a fixed-rate loan is fully repaid. It uses the effective-interest method, so interest is higher in early periods and decreases over time.

Use this recipe when the organization has taken a fixed-rate loan and wants the full repayment schedule booked automatically.

Available in Journal and Direct Cash In transactions.

Each monthly entry:

Note: The principal and interest split changes every month; the cash total stays the same. The final month closes the remaining balance to exactly zero.

Fields:

Prepaid Amortization spreads a prepaid expense across future periods. It splits the amount equally by default and switches to day-based pro-rata when coverage dates are supplied.

Use this recipe when the organization paid for something in advance (annual insurance, prepaid rent) and the cost should be recognized gradually.

Available in Bills only.

Each period entry:

Fields:

Deferred Revenue releases upfront-billed revenue into the periods in which it is earned. It supports straight-line or day-based pro-rata splitting, similar to Prepaid Amortization.

Use this recipe when the organization billed a service in advance (annual subscription) and revenue should be recognized period by period.

Available in Invoices only.

Each period entry:

Fields:

Note: Deferred Revenue assumes a single performance obligation. For contracts with multiple distinct obligations, set up a separate recipe per obligation.

IFRS 16 Lease handles the full life of a lease across four accounting stages: initial recognition, monthly payments, monthly Right-of-Use (ROU) depreciation, and the annual reclassification of the upcoming 12 months of liability from non-current to current.

Use this recipe when the organization leases an asset (vehicle, equipment, property) and needs full IFRS 16 lease accounting over the term.

Available in Journal transactions only.

Accounting stages:

Fields:

Accrual & Reversal records an estimated cost at period-end and automatically reverses it on the first day of the next period, so the real invoice is not double-counted when it arrives.

Use this recipe when the organization needs month-end accruals for costs that are known but unbilled (utilities, services).

Available in Journal transactions only.

Per period:

Fields:

Straight-line splits the total amount equally across all periods. Pro-rata splits it based on the actual number of days in each period.

Pro-rata applies to Prepaid Amortization and Deferred Revenue only, and activates when both a Coverage Start Date and Coverage End Date are supplied. Leave the coverage dates blank for an equal split.

Jaz gives each regular period a clean rounded amount and lets the final period absorb the small remainder, so the schedule always sums to exactly the original total. The preview shows a note whenever this applies (for example, "Final period absorbs SGD 0.01 rounding").

This applies to Prepaid Amortization, Deferred Revenue, and IFRS 16 Right-of-Use (ROU) depreciation.

Yes. The optional Customize Recipe step lets you edit:

You can insert auto-filling placeholders (such as the reference, amount, or period number), remove optional text entirely, or reset everything to the default wording.

The blueprint preview is the place to verify the schedule before committing. Once saved, there is no in-app edit or undo option for a posted capsule. If a correction is needed after posting, contact support.

Yes, but the capsule must be empty before it can be deleted. To do this, go to Reports → Capsules → open the capsule → void or deactivate all transactions inside it first.

Once empty, the Delete option becomes available.

If you want to keep the transactions, you can move them to another capsule before deleting.

If something goes wrong during the build, Jaz automatically rolls back any entries already created. The books are never left partially updated. Correct the inputs and run the recipe again.

Under IFRS 16, a lease liability must be split into two portions: the amount due within the next 12 months (current) and the amount due beyond that (non-current). Jaz books both at the start of the lease and moves the upcoming 12 months from non-current to current once a year. This is the Annual Reclass stage.

Both accounts are required regardless of lease length to keep the split consistent.

No. Each recipe runs in a single currency, taken automatically from the base transaction. For a multi-currency arrangement, set up separate recipes per currency.
