Choose the period for a posted General Ledger report

Use dates inside the company's recorded book history and through today.

Updated 2026-11-11

The posted General Ledger uses From and Through to define the activity range. Choose valid dates within the company's book history and no later than today. The report page explains when the selected account or dates cannot be used.

Confirm the company and its book setup before running the report. This month is a convenient starting range, but use explicit dates when reviewing a close, correction or source document from another period. Refresh after changing the selection.

A report limited to current-month activity will not show an earlier original entry, even if a reversal was posted this month. Expand the range when tracing that relationship and keep both dates in your review notes.

If the period predates the company's recorded books, resolve the history or opening evidence through the appropriate setup process. Do not move a transaction's accounting date merely to make it appear in an available report range. For shared exports, state the exact From and Through dates so another reader can reproduce the same scope.
