Introduction
As part of the Accounting Integration package, you can create general ledger (GL) accounts and assign them to items on your invoices.
You can assign GL accounts to invoice items manually, or have them fill automatically based on the settings of the item, the item’s family, or distributor.
The invoices can then be exported to supported accounting software.
On each invoice, you’ll be able to see a breakdown by GL account. You can also access reporting to see entries for each GL account over a selected time period.
Adding GL Accounts
To add a GL account on the WISK Web Portal:
Hover your cursor over your username on the bottom left and click “Venue Settings”
Click “GL Accounts”
Click “New GL Account”
Enter the GL Account Number and Name into the corresponding fields
Note: If your accounting software is integrated with WISK, you'll see an additional field called "Accounting account". Here you'll select an account imported from your accounting software to create a link between the two. For more information, please see the specific article for supported integrations.
Click “Save”
It now appears in your list of GL accounts. You can add as many GL accounts as necessary
Note: After adding a GL account, you can click the “Details” column beside an account to edit it.
Assigning GL Accounts
When adding invoices, you can assign GL accounts to invoice items manually, or you can assign them to higher level categories to have them populate automatically.
You can assign GL accounts at the following levels:
Note: When populating the GL account for an item on an invoice, it will check for GL accounts in this priority order: Item > Family > Distributor.
For example, if you assign a GL account to a distributor, but have also added GL accounts at the family level, it will pull the family’s GL account because it is a higher priority.
How you set this up will depend on your preferences and how your GL accounts are structured.
