General Ledger

The General Ledger is a detailed report for all transactions posted to each account and for every transaction there is a Credit and Debit account so it lists them all up.

This helps you to get a full update for all entries posted in a period against any account.

Navigate to the General Ledger from the sidebar: Report > General Ledger

Filters

The General Ledger has several filters which can help you narrow the generated report to the entries you would like to see.

Ref Type

Setting Ref Type as anything other than All will display entries only of that Transactional entry type.

Example setting Ref Type as Journal Entry will display only entries created due to Journal Entries.

Ref Name

Ref Name filter allows to display all ledger entries that were generated due to a single Transactional Entry.

To enable this you need to first set Ref Type.

Account

Selecting an Account will display only entries where an amount is being credited or debited from this account.

Party

Group By

Selecting a Group By option other than None groups the entry according to the selected option.
