General Ledger FAQs

You can restrict employee access to General Ledger entry, inquiry (views), and/or report routines via the General Ledger User Permissions screen. This routine is available only if you have STORIS GL Processing active on your system.

To print a chart of accounts, use the Run a Report routine and select S$GL_ACCOUNTS at the Report Name field.

When you enter information, the system searches each level of the hierarchy structure for an account number. If the system finds no account number in the previous hierarchy levels (for example, the product Category), it posts to the GL account specified in the appropriate default module settings in the General Ledger Control Settings.  If the system finds no account number at any of these levels, it uses the default account number in the General tab of the General Ledger Control Settings.

Once the batch has been posted, it is moved to history and cannot be changed. You can post a new journal entry batch and move money between GL accounts to correct the previous posting.

STORIS Accounting updates the general ledger based on transaction date and not invoice date. For example, if you enter the AP bills in January and specify December as the invoice date, the bills post to January. Note that QuickBooks updates the general ledger based on invoice date.
