Copying transactions from an account to the general ledger

Mike,

There’s no copying anything to the General Ledger. The GL is simply a consolidated view of all accounts. Your transactions should be there. I just did a test with a fresh book, entered some transactions in Cash, opened the GL and the transactions were all there. I presume you are going to Tools > General Ledger right?

Certainly you can enter transactions in the GL only if you prefer. Personally, I like to enter them in the account the money is coming from to keep my entries straight. (some enter their credit card charges as expenses from the card liability account for the same reason)


Regards,
Adrien
