GL Accounts

GL Accounts or General Ledger Accounts are account numbers used to categorize types of financial transactions. For example, you could create a GL account for Medical Supplies, Food, or IT equipment.

In OpenBoxes, these GL Accounts are added to products. When specific products are ordered, the financial transaction is linked to GL account and distinguishes what type of transaction it is. For example, a Lenovo laptop would fall under the GL Account IT equipment.
