G/L Account Numbers

The system uses two account numbers to post depreciation to the general ledger link program: the G/L Expense Account number and the G/L Accum Account number. The format of these account codes must match the format used by your general ledger program.

• G/L Expense Account: This is the depreciation expense account number and should be entered as it is set up in the Chart of Accounts in your general ledger program. This account usually has a debit balance. The system uses it to create the journal entry to be transferred to your general ledger program.

• G/L Accum Account: This is the accumulated depreciation expense account number and should be entered as it is set up in the Chart of Accounts in your general ledger program. This is a contra asset account and usually has a credit balance. The system uses it to create the journal entry to be transferred to your general ledger program.

Note: By default, you can enter up to 35 characters in the three general ledger fields. However, you can change the limit to up to 100 characters by editing the Entry Mask field in the Customize Fields window.
