About General Ledger Posting
ManageMore's flexible general ledger posting system allows two methods of posting transactions. When automatic posting is used (see Setup Accounting, General Ledger section), transactions are posted immediately upon being created and saved. However, when this option is not used, a batch mode is used for posting transactions, which allows for more controlled posting of transactions into the General Ledger.
From this screen, you can easily select the transactions that need to be posted, and create a batch for the transactions, including as much or as little detail as you desire. You can then post the batch for permanent inclusion in the general ledger or save the batch for later posting by an authorized user.

Q & A - General Ledger Posting
Q01. How often should I post to my subledgers?
A01. As often as you'd like to have updated financial statements. Once per month is usually sufficient for most companies.
Q02. Is there any disadvantage to posting subledgers manually versus automatically posting on a transaction by transaction basis?
A02. When you post on a transaction by transaction basis, all of your general ledger information will be updated constantly, giving you reports that are always up-to-the-minute accurate. Posting subledgers manually requires that you post each subledger before getting accurate, updated financial statements.
Q03. I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information?
