Big Red Book Accounts v5
Generate Nominal Ledger
It is essential that the Generate Nominal Ledger procedure be run after the Nominal Ledger has been setup
and all Control Accounts, Analysis Categories and Bank Accounts have been assigned Nominal Accounts.
This procedure posts each transaction to the Nominal Ledger, updating the Control Accounts.
To
Generate
the
Nominal Ledger
select
Utilites / Maintenance / Generate Nominal Ledger
The following screen will be displayed:
Retain Column Posting
For the initial setup untick 'Retain Column Posting'
If transactions were entered before Nominal Accounts were assigned to Analysis Categories they would be
posted to temporary accounts such as 'SB1'. We would not wish to retain these postings. By unticking
'Retain Column Posting' all transactions will be posted to the default Nominal Account assigned to the
Analysis Category.
If 'Generate Nominal Ledger' is run when transactions may have been posted to Nominal Accounts other
than the default the 'Retain Column Posting' option can be ticked to retain these postings.
Retain Nominal Ledger Journals
For the initial setup untick 'Retain Column Posting' - no Nominal Journals should have been entered prior to
the initial setup of the Nominal Ledger. Problems sometimes arise when Opening Balance Nominal Journals
are entered before the initial setup. Unticking this option removes all Nominal Journals.
The word 'YES' must be typed in to proceed with generating the Nominal Ledger.
