ClosedReport Description

The General Ledger report displays posted general ledger transactions for a specified fiscal period range or date range. It is available as a Standard Report, Compressed Report, or Alternate Report.

For each account, the report displays the account number, account description, and beginning and ending balances, transaction details, and period totals.

Transaction details include the document ID, the journal to which the transactions were posted, a line description, the date of posting, the vendor name or reference for the transaction, debits, credits, and the ending balance.

For Inventory transactions, the report prints Inventory ID, the type of inventory transaction such as Receipt, Shipment, or Return, and the Document ID from data entry screens in the Inventory module.

NOTE that the value in the Name or Reference column is:

Unapproved Transactions - When the transaction is unapproved, an asterisk (*) appears next to the account description.

Period totals, provided for each account, include debit, credit, and ending balance totals.

If the period totals do not reflect an entire period, due to the selected report range, the words “partial period“ appear next to the Period Totals heading.

When run for Multiple Fiscal Years - The General Ledger reports (all options) print headings and group totals for Subtotal amounts by account for the fiscal year ended, when the report is run for multiple fiscal years.
