Every time a G/L entry is posted, a G/L register is created.
The G/L entries in a G/L register are the result of the following: posting of a journal in the General Ledger, Sales & Receivables, or Purchases & Payables application areas; posting of sales orders, invoices and credit memos; posting of purchase orders, invoices and credit memos; and finance charge calculations and batch jobs (such as the Adjust Exchange Rates and Post Inventory Cost to G/L batch jobs). G/L entries can also result from importing consolidated company financial statements.
You can see the G/L registers for the General Ledger, Sales & Receivables, and Purchases & Payables application areas under the Registers menu item on each application area's main menu.
G/L registers may also contain customer and vendor ledger entries that have the same entry number as a G/L entry.
Every register shows the first and last entry numbers of its entries.
