G/L Accounts

Overview

G/L (General Ledger) accounts form the foundation for tracking and categorizing financial transactions. Each G/L account is classified based on its type, and the collection of these accounts is commonly referred to as the Chart of Accounts.

G/L accounts are always linked to Financial Line Items (e.g., in Invoices and Bills) and are commonly exported to accounting systems to ensure consistent financial categorization and reporting.
