By default, when Breezing pushes a journal entry to your accounting software (like Xero or QuickBooks), it splits out the debits and credits into a highly detailed, multi-line format. This explicitly separates the principal amount, the network fee, and the realized gain/loss into distinct line items. However, some technical accountants prefer a tighter, more traditional “Compressed” journal view.

​
How to Switch to Compressed Journals

  1. Click your Company Name in the top left corner of Breezing.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Locate the toggle for Tom DeFi Mode (our compressed journal mode).
  4. Enable the toggle and click Update.
  5. Return to your Dashboard.
If you have already synced a detailed journal to Xero/QBO and want to change it to the compressed format, you do not need to delete it. Simply click Sync on the transaction again in Breezing, and it will instantly overwrite the detailed journal in your accounting software with the new compressed, accountant-friendly layout!
so in breezing you actually have the option to do a compressed journal entry or kind of a detailed Journal I’ll just kind of show you what that looks like so I’m going to go ahead and hit this legal expense one so this one’s I’ve already synced I’m going to go ahead and click the view Journal so I can see what it looks like so you’ll see this journal it’s got amounts twice fees and the necking law so it breaks it all up very kind of detailed and it shows the debits credits it’s a long Journal but it breaks it up it’s really much kind of a simplified view but if you want a more compressed View and maybe a view that like more technical counts more used to go back into breezing go to the name click settings click the Tom defi mode hit update go back into the transaction that legal expense transaction right over here go into here and just resync that transaction so you resync that transaction it’s going to show it to you in a different view now keep in mind this was the view initially now I’m going to refresh this it’s going to change the view so bear with me the view now changes in a more compressed version so you have now the fair value cost bases fee and the gain and loss in kind of a more compressed view this is a journal that maybe more technical accounts are used to but you could definitely use either one it’s that’s kind of what you’re most familiar with all right cool
