General Ledger

The General Ledger report provides a detailed listing of transactions entered by the user sorted by General Ledger account.  By default the report is prepared for all accounts for the period from the first day of the current month until the current date.  The Begin and End Dates may be changed to any other values. 

If activity exists for an account before the Begin Date of the report a beginning balance, labeled "Prev Bal", is displayed.  For balance sheet accounts (those with account types of Bank, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Other Current Assets, Fixed Assets, Other Assets, Accounts Payable, Credit Card, Other Current Liabilities, Long-Term Liabilities and Equity) the beginning balance includes the balance rolled forward from the previous fiscal year plus transactions through the beginning of the current fiscal year up to the Begin Date.  For income statement accounts (all other account types) the beginning balance is calculated from the beginning of the fiscal year to the Begin Date.

Drilldown, or the ability to take a closer look at the original documents that generated the transactions is available.
