The General Ledger (GL) module is the heart of accounting software of an ERP system. Through integration with logistics, business processes as well as with accounting sub ledgers of other finance modules such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, GL provides a central pool of accounting data required for finance reporting (including statutory reports) and other purpose.

Accounts

• The structure for the chart of accounts is user-defined for each company.
• Each company can have a chosen reporting currency.
• Management and statutory account codes can be distinguished, enabling local and HQ reporting to be generated from the same set of accounts.
• Changes to the chart of accounts are recorded for subsequent auditing.

Transactions

• A transaction will be posted in base currency.
• Narrative can be recorded for individual journal lines or for the journal header.

Budgets

• Budget can be set against GL account.

Multi company accounting
