General ledger and account ledger
Two accountant-mode reports show the postings themselves rather than totals.
General ledger
Section titled “General ledger”Reports → General Ledger lists, account by account, every journal line in the period with date, description, source document and a running balance. It is the place to answer “what exactly hit this account?”.
Keep the period short on busy accounts — the report lists every line.
Account ledger
Section titled “Account ledger”Reports → Ledger Transactions shows the same detail for one account you choose, with its opening balance, each transaction and the closing balance for the period. Use it to reconcile a single bank account, tax account or customer control account.
What you see on each line
Section titled “What you see on each line”- Date and description of the entry.
- Source — invoice, payment, expense, purchase, contra, manual, reversal, closing, opening balance.
- Debit or credit amount and the running balance.
