General Ledger

Query the General Ledger for trial balances, financial statements, and account activity. Every posted bill, invoice, payment, and journal entry rolls up into these reports.

Trial Balance

Returns debit and credit totals for all accounts as of a given date.
Response (200):
In a properly maintained ledger, total debits always equal total credits.

Financial Statements

The GL also exposes the standard primary statements:
The balance sheet reports assets, liabilities, and equity at a point in time; the income statement reports revenue and expenses over a period.

Fiscal Periods

Fiscal periods define the accounting calendar and control which dates accept new postings. Once a period is closed, postings dated within it are locked.
