One of the first tasks when creating a new company in Sage 100 Contractor is to set up the general ledger structure. When you select a pre-built ledger, Sage 100 Contractor creates the ledger accounts for you.
You can also set up the general ledger manually. If you choose to enter the account ranges, controlling accounts, and posting accounts manually, Sage 100 Contractor will not create the ledger accounts. You will then need to create each ledger account in the 1-7 General Ledger Accounts window.
Caution! Once set up and saved, you cannot delete a chart of accounts, and you cannot edit it after you have entered a transaction. Call Customer Support or your business partner if you need more information.
Note: Unless you have prior experience setting up general ledgers, it is a good idea to choose a pre-built chart of accounts.
