Running the General Ledger Export Report

The General Ledger Export Report lists the posting from each source for a single general ledger account or a group of ledger accounts for a specified period of time. You can list the postings individually, subtotaled by source by day, or subtotaled only by source. The difference between this report and the General Ledger Report is that this report is designed to format the data so that you can download the report. You see the same information as in the other report, but in this one, there are no breaks and heading lines.
