  1. Go to System and click on Administration.
  2. In the entity tree, click on the entity that you wish to add a ledger to. E.g. click on ADRA Samoa to add the ADRA Samoa ledger.
  3. Click the Add Ledger button.
  4. Complete all the fields on the Ledger Definition screen, then click Save. Selected fields are explained below:
    1. Ledger Code - this is a short name for the ledger, which will be used as part of the file name when exporting data.
    2. Ledger Type - this will default to the type selected in the entity, but can be changed if required.
    3. Multi Currency - tick this box to allow transactions to be entered in multiple currencies. Choose the Default Rate Type if multi-currency is enabled.
    4. Authorise Transactions - tick this box to require transactions to be authorised before being posted.
    5. Allow Data Entry - tick this box to allow transactions to be entered in the ledger.
    6. Cheque Entry - tick this box to allow cheque transactions to be entered in the ledger.
    7. Receipt Entry - tick this box to allow receipt transactions to be entered in the ledger.
    8. Paperless - this checkbox enables the paperless authorisation workflow. This means that journal listings are not required to be printed; rather, they are automatically saved as an attachment in the journal. The person authorising views the journal and backing on the screen, and when they approve the journal, it is also posted. Contact Service Desk if you would like this feature activated.

    12. Bank Deposit Copies - enter the number of Bank Deposit slips to be printed.
