Read everything posted to one account

When a total on a report looks wrong, this is the screen that says which postings make it up. Every posted movement on one account, oldest first.

You need

• accounting.ledger.read

Steps

1. Open General Ledger. It starts empty on purpose: Pick an account above to see everything posted to it.
2. Use the Account picker at the top — it says Choose an account until you do.
3. Read the lines. Each carries a Date, the Entry it belongs to, its Description and a Debit or Credit.
4. Note the entry number of anything that looks wrong, and open it on Journal Entries to see the other side of it.

An account with a balance but no lines here has not been posted to in this workspace: This account has no entries in the ledger yet.
