Your general ledger determines the format of your financial statements. All transactions you process in the system are represented in the general ledger, and this makes changing the general ledger problematic. In addition, you have to keep a full audit trail of transactions that make up general ledger balances.
However, over time you may change the nature of your business to a greater or lesser degree. In addition, you may realise that initial assumptions you made about general ledger account requirements were not optimal, and you may want to make adjustments.
The General Ledger Manager add-on module gives you the ability to make many of these adjustments.
You have the following options:
- Renumber accounts
This option lets you renumber existing general ledger accounts, even if they have balances and transactions. At the same time, you can change accounts into main or sub accounts just by renumbering them appropriately.
- Delete accounts
This option lets you delete general ledger accounts with balances and/or transactions. The system transfers existing balances / transactions to another GL account you nominate.
- Consolidate accounts
This option lets you consolidate multiple existing general ledger accounts into another existing account.
- Change financial categories
This lets you change an account's financial category.
- Print audit trail
This option prints a report of all changes made within a range of dates.
You accomplish all this without affecting the integrity of the general ledger in any way.
This Module allows you to change your general ledger codes in Sage Pastel Partner and transfer transactions. |
