The purpose of the General Ledger Report is to provide details of all entries within a given account.
The report screen will display a message that “General Ledger Standard Report is ready to be run.”
You can click on “Run Report” and the report will generate based on the default filter settings.
In the filter menu, you can set a Date, make a selection for Account, Subaccount, and Department. By default the report will not include Unposted Items but you can select “Include Unposted Items”. You can also change the format of the report between Standard, Custom, and Advanced. The clear button will remove any recent selection made in the filter fields and the apply button will run the report including any changes made to the filter.
The Sort menu can be used to sort the data on the report by Entry Date, Journal Type, Department Code, Account Code, Subaccount Code, Document Code, Account Name and Subaccount Name with an Ascending or Descending sort direction option.
The report has three generating options.
The envelope icon can be used to send the report by email.
The laptop icon can be used to open the report in a new tab or window depending on your browsers settings.
The gear icon can be used to set up page size and margin configurations for the report.
