GL Analysis Routine

This routine is used to compare GL Entry and GL Summary to ensure both tables match by:

• GL Account

• GL Ledger

• Accounting Period

If you use GoldFinch Accounting, you must have GL Summary Management. GoldFinch includes built-in routines that automatically keep GL Entry and GL Summary synchronized. However, you should periodically validate synchronization—especially before closing a month or before compressing GL Entries.

When to Run GL Analysis

Run the GL Analysis routine when:

• You are preparing to close a month

• You suspect GL Entry and GL Summary are out of sync

• You plan to run the GL Entry Compression routine

• You want to validate that all GL Entries have been summarized correctly.

How to Run GL Analysis

1. Navigate to GL Analysis

Go to:

GL Analysis → Run GL Analysis

2. Select Accounting Period Range

By default:

• From Accounting Period = Current period

• To Accounting Period = One year prior

You may adjust the period range as needed.

3. Run the Analysis

Click Run GL Analysis.

GoldFinch will submit a batch job that summarizes GL Entry and GL Summary by:

• GL Account

• GL Ledger

• Accounting Period

Once the batch job completes, results will appear in the GL Analysis table.

4. Review the Results

Check the “xDifferent” View

Open: View → xDifferent

This view shows GL Analysis records where GL Entry ≠ GL Summary.

If differences exist:

1. Run Daily Adjust Cost Routine
   Some GL Entries may not yet have been processed to update GL Summary.

2. Run GL Analysis again
   Recheck the xDifferent view.

If differences remain after these steps:
