# General Ledger

### Accessing the report

Go to **Accounting** → **General Ledger**. The report defaults to Last year. Use the date picker to view balances as of any date, and the entity dropdown to filter by entity.

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. Columns include date, source, reference, description, counterparty, split, amount, and balance.

Transactions from connected accounts and manual journal entries both appear here. Once a transaction is categorized, it posts to the GL in real time. Click the **Source** column to open a synced transaction on the Transactions tab, or click the **Reference** column to open a journal entry in its 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 Entry, Opening Balance, or Loan
* **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 the journal entry reference 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 Entry**.
