# General Ledger

General Ledger is an accounting report, not a sales report. Behind each transaction is a posting event containing 'opening' and 'closing' entry(s) posted to the Ledger in real-time. A 'P&amp;L' can be obtained at any time. The double-entry Ledger has a complete chart of Accounts.

There are two versions of General Leger:

- GL Detail
- GL Summary
