General Ledger Details
Chart of Accounts (COA)
There is a large number of defined accounts types. Account numbers are alphanumeric and auto numbering. There is a preference on whether to include account numbers on forms and reports. You can enter long descriptive account names and full length descriptions. Your Chart of Accounts can be set up using hierarchies (parent & child) with many levels. Account numbers and names can be changed; even when there is history. Accounts can be merged at any time. Balances are shown in “real-time”.
Overhead Allocation
You may select a method of overhead allocation for each chart of account. The software will automatically allocate overhead to each division and department. There is also a manual method for those accounts that are difficult to allocate overhead to automatically. An example of this might be rent.
Departmentalized Financial Statements
The COA overhead allocation system allows you to print financial statements that are completely departmentalized, down to net profit.
Trial Balances
Quickly examine the balance of any account by date range.
General Ledger (GL or General Journal)
All of your company’s financial activities are stored in one central table. This information is displayed in the General Ledger list form. This list includes extensive filtering, searching, lookup, reporting, and exporting. The GL is pictured below.
Adjusting Journal Entry
Making an adjustment to your GL is easy, using our handy AJE screen. The credit and debit impact is displayed for each account type. AJEs can be copied or automatically reoccur.
