GL Account - Account

This field is enabled when you select a line type of General Ledger. Enter or select a general ledger (GL) account code. Greentree defaults the account short code and description. The general ledger account code maintained within this field may control where the employee's pay is expensed within the Greentree general ledger. This is one of the fields used to define where the employee's pay will be costed.

GL Account - Subcode

This is a free-form field that you can use to enter a subcode associated with the general ledger account. A subcode can be used to create dissection among transactions, so that you can summarise report information at a subcode level. For example, you can capture motor vehicle expenses, where a vehicle's registration is entered as the transaction line subcode.

The GL Transaction Listing provides the option to sub-total based on subcode. You can also create a customised report, or run a query (using Greentree Desktop's Inspection Tool or JADE Query) to output transactions summarised by subcode.

GL Account - Short code

This field is enabled when a line type of General Ledger is selected.

Enter or select a GL short code.

GL Account - Description

This field is enabled when you select a line type of General Ledger. Enter or select a GL description. Selecting the description will prompt Greentree to default the general ledger account code and short code. The general ledger account code for the description maintained may control where the employee's pay is expensed within the Greentree general ledger. Note this is one of the fields used to define where the employee's pay will be costed.
