General
Ledger & Cashbook
Enterprise's general ledger provides you with a powerful accounting
tool from which you can access management information for any period
or year. Your chart of accounts is set-up in a graphical tree, with
folders as headings and sub-headings, making it simple to design
and maintain.
This innovative design allows you to see management information
at-a-glance with the ability to view monthly trends in a table or
graph and then 'drill-down' into further detail, right down to the
original transaction entries.

The history option displays the monthly (or period) balances for
the selected account. This can be viewed in either table or graph
form. You can drill-down into any accounting period to display a
list of transactions simply by selecting the period in the history
window, or by clicking on a point on the graph.
The list of transactions could be sales, purchase or journal transactions
- all of which can be displayed in their original form.
From any list of transactions within Enterprise you can select
a transaction and display it in full or re-print it using Objectprint.
There is no limit to the number of general ledger accounts that
can be individually reconciled. The cashbook reconciliation is an
integral part of the general ledger. This allows you to reconcile
accounts such as accruals and prepayments and other contra accounts,
as well as bank accounts.
An automatic bank reconciliation feature is also provided which
has the option to download bank statements directly from your banking
software*.
Simply by changing the period or year, you can go back in time
to view past financial performance. The ObjectClone option allows
you to display several general ledgers on the screen at once, each
can be set to a different period, year or currency. This powerful
tool enables you to quickly and easily track performance visually.

You can set up millions of general ledger codes, and there is no
limit to the number of levels and sub-levels you can have within
your accounting structure. In addition to this, you can optionally
use cost centre and department codes to add two more dimensions
to your analysis. In fact, in addition to the general ledger code,
cost centre and department, each transaction line has up to four
further fields that can be used for analysis purposes.
Cost centres and departments are set-up independently to the general
ledger itself, making it simple to maintain yet extremely powerful.
You can view any general ledger balance by cost centre, department
or a combination of both at a glance, and drill-down to the originating
transactions instantly for analysis purposes.
