General Ledger (GL)

The General Ledger (GL) module is the hub of every Accredo system – where all your financial information comes together to provide an overview of how your business is doing.

Produce detailed or consolidated reports containing the information you need to manage your business; import from and export to MS Excel™, and use the handy graphs for an instant snapshot of activity in each account.

You could call GL the ‘reporting’ module, but that’s too simple, because you can also use it to produce budgets and costings, make adjustments, view historical information and control user access to sensitive information.

Let us tell you more about just some of the innovative features of Accredo’s GL module.

Need to know
Use the Financial Report Designer provided with Accredo’s GL module to produce financial reports that tell you exactly what you need to know to find out where your business is making (or losing) money. Because you design them yourself, you can capture every last detail or obtain the briefest of summaries, depending on your requirements. And don’t worry if report design is not your forté – the Wizard will step you through a basic report design process, and you can develop more complex designs later as your needs change.

Excel in design
When you design your financial reports in Accredo, it’s easy to set them up for exporting to MS Excel™. You can also develop your chart of accounts in Excel and import it to Accredo, or export your Accredo chart of accounts to Excel.

Divide and conquer
Because Accredo Saturn’s branches and departments are set up separately from GL accounts, you only have to set each one up once, with all branches and departments then available to every account. Then produce GL reports on any combination of branch, department, account and sub-account, or, if you are using Accredo Mercury, report by account or sub-account, depending on your focus requirements.

Secure your secrets
Because your Accredo GL provides such vital information for your business, it’s important to keep that information secure. Apply permissions to control who can import, export and post items to your GL; who can view, set up and alter your chart of accounts, account details and budgets; who can design and produce reports and more.

Embellish the story

Drill back to source
Easily locate the originating transactions of any discrepancies in your Accredo GL by drilling back to data in the source module. For example, in your income & expense account, just double click on a journal line to drill back to the source transaction, and from there to the original invoice or shipment details.

Isolate adjustments
Separate your end-of-year adjustment transactions from other business transactions by setting up a separate adjustment period as the final period in your financial year.

See all
Don’t wait until you close off each period to find out how your business is doing – with Accredo’s open periods, you can find out everything you need to know about every account as at any time, whenever you need to know it. Use the handy graphs to review account balances and activity on each GL account, or design your own reports using the built-in Financial Report Designer or the Wizard.

Predict the future
When you have had enough of analysing your past performance, use Accredo’s GL module to create budgets and costings and make sure you are on track for future growth.
