What is the General Ledger report?
Every accounting movement in your company, with the strongest set of filters of any financial report.
Where to find it
Reports → Financial Reports → General Ledger, or /dashboard/reports/general-ledger.
Permission: reports:general_ledger.
The filters
| Filter | Use |
|---|---|
| Account | Movements on a particular account |
| Voucher No | Tracing a specific document |
| Party Type | Customer or supplier |
| Party | A specific customer or supplier |
| Voucher Type | Sales invoice · Purchase invoice · Payment entry · Stock adjustment · General ledger · Journal entry |
| From / to date | A particular period |
The voucher type filter is the most powerful — it lets you isolate one source and see its effect alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What filters does it have?
Account, voucher number, party type (customer or supplier), the party itself, voucher type (sales or purchase invoice, payment entry, stock adjustment, general ledger, journal entry), and dates.
When is the voucher type filter useful?
When you want to isolate one source. Filter on sales invoices alone, for example, to see their effect on the Sales account with nothing else mixed in.
An account balance looks wrong
Open the report, filter on that account and sort by date. You will see every movement on it — and the jump that does not make sense will tell you which document is behind it.
