Filter General Ledger activity by customer or vendor

Use current company counterparty filters to review relevant posted lines.

Updated 2026-11-11

The General Ledger filter panel offers Vendor / customer and Vendor / customer contains controls. Use the specific counterparty selection when you know the saved contact, or a text criterion when reviewing an identifiable description in the permitted activity.

Confirm the company and dates, choose the filter and select Apply filters. Review the account and memo filters as well, since they combine to narrow the result. All counterparties removes the specific saved-contact selection when you need the broader view.

A filtered ledger is not automatically a customer statement or vendor balance report. It shows the posted lines matching its rules. Use the document or counterparty workflow when you need open invoices, bills, credits or a dated activity statement.

If a contact is absent from the filter options, refresh the current company evidence before assuming it was deleted. When exporting the result, record the selected counterparty and period. A later reviewer should be able to distinguish the filtered activity from the company's complete ledger or the contact's full outstanding balance.
