The General Ledger

JobBag’s General Ledger module takes all transactions that have been entered in the Job Costing and Accounts modules of JobBag and processes them to the posting accounts in the General Ledger.

When setting up the general ledger, the following steps must be followed:

1.    Determine start date for general ledger

2.    Set up the chart of accounts

3.    Map control accounts, bank accounts, job types and kinds

4.    Configure financial statements

5.    Enter opening balances

6.    Reconcile with Payables and Receivables systems.

Once these processes have been completed, checked and tested, JobBag automatically generates your financial information. 

Transactions are posted automatically to the accounts in the ledger based on the accounts that have been mapped in the Job Costing module. Mapping takes place in a number of places within JobBag:

•  Control Systems (mapped within the Chart of Accounts):

Trade Debtors

Trade Creditors

Work in Progress

Accruals

GST

PAYG Withholding Tax Liability (Australia only)

Bank accounts

• Job Types

• Kinds

The mapping options in JobBag are extremely flexible and allow you to track your business in many different ways.
