Report: General Ledger

The General Ledger report is a listing of general ledger transaction detail and account balances for a selected date range. It can be used to audit posting activity for a particular account or to provide detail in support of the agency's financial statements.

If you run this report with detail for all general ledger accounts, you may note a performance degradation Since accounting data is not purged in AMS360, account details for auditing purposes can be obtained at any time.

ClosedReport Fields

Given the number of selection options and formats available for this report, a comprehensive listing of fields output in every report situation would be extensive. We suggest you use Print Preview as an output option to view various selection and format combinations on screen, prior to printing needed reports.

Once options and formats are decided upon, review the Adding, Editing, and Deleting Reports section of the Reports - All topic for information on saving desired formats for future use.

When you enter company, employee and broker beginning balance journal entries (BJE) when moving to AMS360, the items now appear in the General Ledger report under Company, Employee, and Broker accounts.

 

If accounts with zero balances are printing on your General Ledger and you don't want them to, check your settings in the Chart of Account setup for the account that is printing with a zero balance.

  • If the option Print zero balance is checked, then the account will print on the report even when it has a zero balance.
  • If the option Print zero balance is not checked, the account will not print if the account balance is zero and no activity occurred during date range selected bringing it to zero.
