5.2. Utilities - General Ledger

 
The General Ledger Module has a variety of utility features that aim to make the maintenance and management of your General Ledger as easy and stress-free as possible
 
Utilities include the Copy Master Code List feature which enables you to easily copy already-existing Account Codes from one company to another – Easily copy the Master Code List from the Win Accounting Sample Company to import a comprehensive, ready-to-use Chart of Accounts
 
Use the Recalculate Balances utility to recalculate your Balances Brought Forward – This tool will run through all stored transactions on file for each account and recalculate the balances accordingly
 
Thanks to the integrated modular feature of Win Accounting, your Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Transaction information is automatically grouped and stored in a General Ledger Transfer File, which can quickly and easily be saved and imported into your General Ledger module for easy posting and analysis
 
The Year End Function is used at the end of your financial year to close the books and make the General Ledger ready for the next accounting period - Account Balances are brought forward and posting accounts are prepared for the upcoming year
 
The Year End Function procedure cannot be run if you have unposted General Ledger Batches and/or Cashbook Batched - The Remove Unposted Transactions tool make it much easier for you to quickly view and delete any nonessential batches / transactions. Use this feature to ensure no batches have been erroneously forgotten
 
Use the Report Layout Definitions utility feature to easily modify and add unique business branding to all your General Ledger documents and reports
