This article will show you how to activate General Ledger Configuration Settings. 

Important Note

• We do not recommend changing your GL settings without first contacting your Client Success Manager or Support. Misconfiguring these settings can have serious repercussions on your reporting.

Instructions

1. Navigate to Configuration > Organization > Organization Options
   
2. Scroll down to or search for General Ledger Accounting and ensure it says Enabled
   
3. Set General Ledger Accounting Method to Cash Only
   
   
   • Note: If your department uses Accrual Accounting, reach out to our Support Staff and we can give you additional tips to configure your account for Accrual accounting.
4. Set other (optional) GL configuration settings
   
   
   • Note: By indicating these settings as Required, your staff should not be able to save any items in the system without first indicating a GL for them. This will save many Unitemized entries later!
