GENERAL LEDGER OVERVIEW

The General Ledger application provides for a complete chart of accounts, journal listings, and financial statements for over 700 funds. Funds can be independently printed and processed. For each fund, the General Ledger application provides two forms of general ledger posting: 1) Manual entry of transactions through journals, and 2) Automatic posting to the general ledger from other LOCIS applications (Utility Billing, Accounts Payable, Payroll, etc.). Manual entry of journal data is flexible, and has been designed to be similar to ordinary journal write-up. Any number of journals can be created and named by the user at the time the data is being entered. Also, when the General Ledger application is installed, the user can specify any orderly set of G/L account numbers, up to 15 digits in length. Accounts must be grouped together by account type (i.e. Assets together, Liabilities together, Capital together, Revenue together, and Expense together). Each fund can have a unique set of G/L posting references, so that the summary amounts from the journals/registers can be posted to different funds. This provides extensive posting flexibility. Both manual and automatic journal transactions include complete posting tags (date, source, unique transaction identifier, etc.) so that a clear audit trail is maintained. Individual batches of manual and automatic transactions must be in balance before they can be posted to the general ledger. Automatic postings are updated as the processes are completed. Manual journal entries can be made and posted to the general ledger at any time, and financial statements can be printed at any time during the month. Individual month-end financial statements for each independent fund can be produced at any time as long as the period remains open. Revenue and Budget Analysis, show current month and year-to-date information. Balance sheets can be printed in a one, two, or three column format. Although financial statements are printed in fixed formats, presentations are flexible in terms of line spacing and paging, title selection and indentation, subtotaling, and columnar printing. The chart of accounts for one or more funds, along with other financial statement specifications, are normally created when the general ledger application is installed. New accounts and new funds can be added at any time, but rigorous accounting control is enforced so that accounts cannot be deleted if a transaction has been recorded.

G/L CHART SETUP(GMMWIN)

The general ledger chart of accounts contains two types of records: records used only to print titles and totals on financial statements: and chart of accounts records which contain financial information. In Chart Setup you can create a fund, add, change, or delete an individual general ledger account.

Select Fund: You can either select a fund or select -create a new fund from the drop down menu. Account Number: Should have the fund number- the department number-account number.

Fund Dept Line 01- 00 111 02- 00 211

Do not assign item different account titles. Account number structure must be consistent. IE: If you have 01-00-360 Misc Income then if you are going to use 360 in another fund it’s description should also be Misc Income. This is very important because the Annual Publication report combines all g/l balance with same account numbers together.

Create A New Account 1. Look for an account with similar structure. Example: if you have an account number set up for CD

at bank ABC and you just invested in CD at Bank XYZ you want to set up a new G/L account number similar to G/L account number CD at ABC bank.

2. Double click on the account number for CD at Bank ABC on the bottom of the screen. This will bring the existing account up to the top of the screen.

3. Change the account number on the top part of the screen to the G/L account number you have assigned to CD at Bank XYZ.

4. Then tab over to account title and change it. 5. Click ADD/SAVE

Adding an Account that does not have a Similar Account 1. Select the fund that you are adding the new account to. 2. Determine what the new account number is going to be. In LOCIS help menu under LOCIS

software manuals has DCEO chart of account suggestions. Remember Assets, Liabilities, and Capital must be grouped. Be consistent with the number structure.

3. Give it an account description.

Account Type: This tells LOCIS what type of account this new G/L number is. Is it an A(Asset), L(liability), C(Capital), R(Revenue), E(Expense). Functions: 1 = Title (This title appears on most financial statements and reports) 2 = Total (The sum of post and print g/l numbers) 3 = Post and Print(This for account numbers you want to post activity to) 4 = Post (does not print on Balance Sheet and Budget Comparison) Total Level: Function is the Balance Sheet and Budget Comparison Line Spacing: allows you advance to new page or up to 9 lines for manual addition of textual information Indent: Offset titles to distinguish subtotals and totals(financial statement layout) Column: This only applies to the balance sheet. (1)Detail account data (2)subtotals (3)totals After you modify or add a line item click ADD/SAVE Note**If you are creating a title on the balance sheet the total level and column does not need to be filled out.

DUE TO/FROM SETUP(GFT)

Due to Due From is used when Payroll and Accounts Payable checks are issued from one (1) fund. The system makes necessary postings to balance each fund. For example is you have a payroll clearing fund. You cut all employees checks out of this fund but their wages should be posted to multiple funds like Water, Sewer and General Fund. If you set up your funds in Due to Due From Locis will automatically distribute the balance to each fund. Type: (A)Accounts Payable or (P)Payroll Paying Fund: This is the fund the check is cut from i.e If your payroll clearing fund number is 73 you would put that fund number here. Expensing Fund: This fund the expense should be recorded in. Person’s wages should be in Water, Sewer And General. Their fund number needs to go here. Paying G/L Number: Is the cash account that you are paying the checks out of. 73-00-111 Expense G/L Number: G/L cash number for the fund that incurred the expense. 51-00-111(Water Cash) Click ADD/SAVE Note**Using the example above if a person’s wages are disturbed amongst several funds. You have to set up each fund. Type Paying Fund Expense Fund Paying G/L Expense G/L P 73 51 73-00-111 51-00-111 P 73 52 73-00-111 52-00-111 P 73 01 73-00-111 01-00-111
