General Ledger Tables

The General Ledger main details for each ledger account code are recorded in GL_Ledger, including current balance of the account and details on transaction code postings, distribution details and quad postings.  

GL_Sets maintains the header record for journal set postings, including journals posting from modules external to the ledger.  GL_Transactions details the line information for each journal set, including transaction code postings.

Current balances on a month by month basis are stored in GL_Movement and updated when journal sets are saved from GL_Transactions.
