When printing the General Ledger Posting Journal at the end of the report gives a listing of Consolidated Transaction Reports and then gives a listing of all accounts that are consolidated in that entry but it does list any of the accounts that are not consolidated. Since it is only giving consolidated accounts and not listing all it does not balance. Is there a way that we can change this to list all the accounts not just consolidated ones?

Hi Wanda

The purpose of the listing at the bottom of the GL Posting Journal is not to summarize the posting journal, but simply to show what makes up the consolidated transactions, since you may want to know sometime in the future where a consolidated figure comes from.

If you would like a posting journal that lists a total by account, and balances, print it sorted by Account instead of by Posting sequence.

Consolidating transactions is strongly frowned upon in today's age of cheap disk space and printing to PDF. Not only do you lose important details, but by consolidating you are unable to take advantage of some of the advanced features of Ledger, such as the ability to unpost a batch. You should seriously consider changing the status of your consolidated accounts to detail.
