Add General Ledger Accounts

This article is intended to be used to add General Ledger Accounts AFTER you have set up your Accounting Module Preferences, if you have not yet done so, please see the article Accounting Module Preferences Setup and Overview.

You must have at minimum one of each of the following General Ledger Account Types to utilize the accounting export:

• Accounts Receivables
• Bank
• Income
• Expense

If you're managing your sales orders, invoices, credit notes and payments in FlexiBake, you'll probably want to save time by exporting that information to your accounting software, rather than entering it in manually. For this information to be exported, the first step is entering general ledger or GL accounts.

This can be done using the following steps:

1. On the Menu Bar click Activities then Accounting Related and Maintain GL Accounts.
      
            
2. Click on a blank row and enter the Account ID and Account Code. Account ID and Account Code are very similar fields. Account ID allows for numbers only whereas Account Code allows for numbers and letters. The program looks for both fields, so both are required. 
                       
3. Enter the Account Name.
         
4. Select the Account Type from the drop-down list.
           
5. Click the X in the top right corner of the Maintain General Ledger Accounts window and the data will save automatically. 

In most Accounting Modules, to successfully import data to your accounting software will require the GL account data entered matches exactly, so please ensure that you double check your entry.
