Accounting
General ledger
The same postings as the journal, grouped by account rather than by date.
It shows every posting and the balance for a specific account. Use it to understand what happened with a client or expense category.
An example
The Customers ledger account shows all sales invoices and payments received.
The typical mistake
Adding invoices manually to calculate a client's balance when the general ledger already provides it.
How it appears in AndCompta
Each account shows its activity and balance at the date you select, and every line links to its source document. It is the fastest route when a balance looks wrong.
