The General Ledger makes accounting easy. The system is date driven, which means that dates within the financial year are nominated for any report printout. Reports include only transactions between those dates.

The SchoolWrite GL helps you keep track of your spending with the budgeted figures.  Budget figures may be set to fit a Year, Semester, Term or even to be Monthly.

Bank reconciliation is also a feature of the SchoolWrite General Ledger.
The main transaction entry has unlimited capacity, handling any size journal.  Data validation when entering transactions verifies dates within the financial year, and provides quick look‑up of financial codes by number and name.

All transaction entry and reporting is date driven.  There may not be requirement for  "end of period" processes performed.  Budget and reporting periods may be monthly, or may be set to suit your school, e.g. term, semester or year.  In fact, someone with very little accounting experience can easily manage the SchoolWrite GL.  This is truly accounting for non‑accountants.

The 2 most commonly used areas of the General Ledger are Ledger Postings and Printouts & Reports. Ledger Postings are generally performed on a daily basis. This includes entry of Checks, deposits and journals. Enquiries on postings entered shows postings in the chronological order in which they were keyed. All other reports within the General Ledger show details in date-of-transaction order.

Other General Ledger Menu options are:

Printouts & Reports contains all the reporting requests that can be made, including Tailored Financial Reports.  Also in this menu are the Trial Balance, the Profit and Loss Statement, the Balance Sheet, and the printout of Finance Code Details (i.e. printouts of transaction entries by Finance Code number).
