Integrate to GL

Determines how you integrate AP to the GL.

  • Summarised - integrates to the GL by producing batches which transfer totals only from AP, that is, totals for each transaction type and for each Expense code.
  • Detailed - integrates to the GL by producing batches that transfer on a transaction by transaction basis to the GL codes specified, you can drill-back to the source transaction from GL.

The Accounts below are used as defaults for GL integration when a new Creditor Group is added.

GL Creditor Account

The account number of the Creditors account in the balance sheet section of the GL. When you transfer to the GL:

  • Invoices and journals credit (that is, increase) this account.
  • Credits and negative journals debit (that is, decrease) this account.
  • Payments debit this account by the gross amount of the transaction.

GL Bank Account

This account is used if you do not have CB, otherwise all bank transactions go to the AP clearing Account specified in CB settings and are then reversed in the CB.

  • Payment transactions Credit this account by the net amount of the payment.
  • Invoices, credits and journals have no effect on this account.

GL Discount Account

For payment transactions this account is credited with the amount of the prompt payment discount claimed. Invoices, credits and journals have no effect on this account.

Payments debit the GL Creditor Account with the gross amount of the payment, Credit the GL Bank Account with the net amount of the payment and Credit the GL Discount Account with the difference (the prompt payment discount).

Integration between the AP and the GL is handled by the creation of Transaction Batches on demand. Batches will be placed in the list of unposted General Ledger Batches, to perform the integration procedure you must post those batches.

FA Clearing Code

An Expense code used to analyse Asset purchases which will be added to Fixed Assets. The FA Clearing Code uses the same GL Account Code as the GL Funds Account specified in FA Settings - Integration tab.

For dissections analysed to the FA Clearing code, the AddAssets Add Asset button is available on the transaction, once the transaction is saved.

Note: When you change Integration GL Accounts, on Save you will be prompted to apply the Integration GL Account changes to any Creditor Groups that have matching GL Accounts.
