To access the General Ledger Manager: To access the General Ledger Manager:
When you open the General Ledger Manager, you are presented with a tree-view showing an interactive display of your GL Accounts.
The General Ledger Reports are listed in the tree-view below the Accounts. They may be accessed by double clicking the report name, or using their right side summary hyperlink. You may also print a account journals for a number of accounts at once by clicking the Print menu button.
Your General Ledger is displayed in this hierarchy:
When an Account in the tree-view is highlighted, the right side summary area displays its properties and, if applicable, its totals.
You may drill down in the tree-view to any individual GL Account. When an Account, Sub-Account or Total Line is highlighted, its summary displays these properties:
The number you have assigned to the Account,
The name you have assigned to the Account,
The Source Total * (the total from the native database tables),
The Journal Total * (the total from those Audit Trail entries which affect that account),
The Account's Type (which determines how it is displayed in the GL Reports), and
Any Notes or Comments you have attached to the Account.
* If the Source Total and the Journal total agree, it is shown as 'Balanced'. If they disagree, they will show as 'Difference Of ($x.xx)'. They should always agree. (For background, see The software's Dual Financial Records.)
NOTE: An Account's properties determine how it will be displayed in the GL Reports. For more information, see Customizing Your Chart of Accounts.
