Overview

The standard accounting practice of using General Ledger Codes (GL Codes) to designate payable or receivable items by type has become a part of Configio. Products may now be identified as different debit or credit entries, making accounts more functional and organized for exporting financial information into third-party software packages.

Adding to a GL Code List

Navigate to Settings > Assignments > Lists, find the GL Codes list, and click the Edit List Items  button. New List Items may be added one-at-a-time, or uploaded into the list.

These fields are bordered in red because they are required and a New List Item may not be saved without this information.
Example: A common GL Code entry may be Titled “Estimated cash receipts” with a Value of “0001”. When all desired information has been entered, click the Save button.

To upload New List Items, click on the Upload Items button in the upper, right-hand corner of the Edit List Items screen:
