The report defaults to Last year. Use the date picker to view balances as of any date, and the entity multi-select filter to include one or more entities. The date picker includes presets for common ranges: this/last month, this/last quarter, this/last year, month/quarter/year-to-date, last 12 months, and last 30/60/90 days. *** ### Report structure The General Ledger shows a detailed, line-by-line record of every entry posted to each account. Default columns are date, source, reference, description, counterparty, class, split, amount, and balance. Use the column settings menu in the toolbar to show, hide, or reorder columns; **Entities** and **Exclude from 1099** are available there and off by default. Transactions from connected accounts and manual journal entries both appear here. Once a transaction is categorized, it posts to the GL in real time. The **Source** column is clickable for transaction, bill, and invoice rows. Clicking a transaction opens it in a drawer over the report, and clicking a bill or invoice opens the line-item drill-down for that document. Click anywhere else on an entry row to open its journal entry in the editable detail view. Use **Expand all** and **Collapse all** to toggle all account sections at once. Sections with a high number of transactions auto-collapse on initial load. *** ### Filters Click **Add filter** to narrow the report. The General Ledger has the most extensive filter set of any report: * **Class**: Filter by class or subclass, with modes for any selected, all selected, exclude selected, or no classes * **Account**: Filter to specific Chart of Accounts entries * **Entry source**: Filter by Transaction, Manual Journal, Recurring, Opening Balance, Loan, Bill, or Invoice. QuickBooks appears as an option for entities connected to QuickBooks Online. * **Amount**: Filter by min/max dollar amount * **Counterparty**: Filter by vendor or customer Active filters appear as removable chips below the toolbar. Click **Clear all** to reset. *** ### Ledger basis If your client has both cash and accrual ledgers configured, use the ledger basis dropdown to switch between **Cash** and **Accrual**. The selected basis is shown in the report footer. *** ### Export Export the General Ledger as **.xlsx** from the download button in the top right. *** ### Working with journal entries Journal entries appear alongside synced transactions in the GL. Click any entry row to open and edit the entry, including updating accounts, amounts, classes, and memos. Click **Create journal entry** in the top right (or **⌥+N**) to record adjustments directly from the report. To find all manual entries, filter for **Entry source = Manual Journal**. → [Journal Entry](/accountants/close-workflows/journal-entries.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
