Before you can start using the GL System, you and your company must have secured from your system administrator the needed access rights. Click here for details. See also User Interface to familiarize yourself on how the system works..
Start configuring the GL System based on your company requirements by setting up the following master files. If you have an Excel or csv file, you can use the copy/paste feature via grid's context menu in updating these master files:

18. File Manager. You can use this to encode reading materials such as company policies and guidelines, accounting standards, SEC regulations, etc.
After setting up the master files above, you are now ready to enter financial transactions into the system.
DATA ENTRY:
1. Journal Entry. This is main data entry module for your financial transactions.
2. Check Releasing. This is for releasing checks to the vendors. When a PV/CV payment recording is set, the CV will only be recorded/posted upon releasing.

Front-end modules such as Sales, Inventory, Payroll and Loans systems have their own separate data entry. Financial transactions coming from these modules are posted into the GL system through batch processing using the DTS unless the system developer decided otherwise.
