General Ledgers – 04 – Editing a General Ledger

To edit a GL code you need to go to the GL Codes sub-section of the Finance Functions page. Click on the GL code you want to edit in the list of GL codes. You can use the search functionality to find a specific GL code if needed or sort the list of GL codes by any of the fields by clicking the table header.
