The general ledger module is at the heart of all DNA software modules. All of the other modules produce entries which interactively update the general ledger. An option may be set to update the general ledger in detail (a complete balanced entry for each transaction) or in summary (each detail transaction is recorded and a total is posted to the applicable control account as a unique entry).

No end of period processing is required. Multiple years may be open for posting unitl it is desired to close the ledger for the fiscal year. Post closing entries may still be made until a final close is done. All reports are prepared based upon the fiscal period to be reported or displayed.

Regular journal entries and recurring journal entries may be posted within this module. Post closing year end journal entries are permitted. All journal entries allow for an automatic reversal in a future period.

Budgets and forecasts may be entered for any account for use with the flexible report writer. The report writer provides access to fiscal period data for any period of time that has not had the summary data purged from the system.

Multiple sub accounts may be attached to a specific GL account for further breakdown - eg track maintenance costs by asset without having to set up a GL account for each asset. These are then available to the report writer to provide a cost per mile or cost per hour analysis without the need to re-enter or re-calculate data.

Inquiry functions permit the drill down of summary information to the specific account posting information.

All reports may be exported to a text file for further manipulation by utility software. Eg., easily allow a spreadsheet utility to provide graphical presentation of the information.
