I would recommend you to post accounting entries using the Miscelleanous journal:

one by one you debit or credit the various accounts with their initial/ opening balances

for instance, at the creation of the company

Capital 1000 on the credit

Bank account 1000 on the debit

at the company creation time, the owner puts some cash in that cy, say 1000 $ to start operations; Thus the first accounting entry recognizes the initial capital as 1000 $ has been deposited at the cy's bank account. Credit side means cy's financial resources, and Debit side means how we employ the resources; in your case your initial capital is employed as a treasury position; which you will transform into say purchases etc...
