Setting Up the General Ledger Interface
Chapter 14 Using the General Ledger Interface
For information on
using the General
Ledger Interface,
see the “General
Ledger” recorded
video tutorial.
Notes
• This chapter presumes that you are familiar with your accounting
system and with standard accounting practices. If you are unsure
about how to set up your accounting system, contact your certified
public accountant, or, if you need help selecting an accountant,
contact your state’s board of accountancy.
• If you are using the QuickBooks interface, you should ensure that
finance and late charges are posted at each location and not from the
home office. Posting late and finance charges at locations avoids
discrepancies that would otherwise occur between OfficeMate
reports and QuickBooks journal entry postings. OfficeMate reports
fee slip adjustments made at the home office on the location’s Aging
report where the fee slip was recorded. The General Ledger Interface
posts the fee slip adjustments made at the home office to the main
QuickBooks company not the fee slip recorded location.
• The General Ledger Interface is disabled if your preferences allow fee
slips to be edited after the end-of-day process. For information about
changing the fee slip editing preferences, go to To set up other
preferences on page 56.
