stub does the double-entry for you — every invoice, bill and payment is quietly posted as balanced debits and credits. The General Ledger is the full list of every one of those entries: the room where the machinery lives. You'll rarely need it day to day, and that's fine — but when a number on a report looks wrong, this is where you trace it.
Open it
Click General Ledger in the sidebar. (Or press 8.)
Find what you are looking for
- The filter narrows by journal, customer, supplier or tag.
- The account filter shows one account on its own.
- The month selector at the top right changes the period.
- The sort control flips between newest-first and oldest-first.
Save any combination you use often as a view, and it's one click next time.
Follow an account
Pick the account in the account filter. A summary of that account appears above the list, showing its movement over the period.
Show a running balance
Once you've filtered to a single account, a Running balance option appears at the top of the page — already ticked, because that's usually why you're here. Each row shows the balance after that transaction: the quickest way to find where an account went wrong. Untick it if you don't need the column; stub remembers your choice.
Open the document behind an entry
Click any row. It takes you to the invoice, bill or entry that created it, so you can always trace a number back to its source.
Export it
Click ··· → Export at the top right, choose PDF or CSV, set the dates and click Download.
Send your accountant the CSV at year end and you have handed over your whole year in one file.
Import entries
Click ··· → Import and drop in a file of entries.
Post an entry by hand
Click Entry at the top of the ledger (or press N). See Manual journal entries for how to write one safely.
