General Ledger
The general ledger module is the central financial module in the Shared
Financial System (SFS). It combines an integrated financial database
with powerful general ledger accounting, budgeting, inquiry and reporting
features. The general ledger is comprised of journals
which are batches of accounting entries. The general ledger data can be viewed using both WISDM
and nVision Reports. All transaction in the General Ledger can be
identified by the Journal
Source Code which identifies the type of transaction (i.e., Direct
Charge, Purchase Order Encumbrance, etc.) and the Journal
ID Prefix which identifies where the transaction originated (i.e.,
Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Campus Interface, etc.)
Questions related to the General Ledger can be directed to the Karen
Gundrum (6345) or Controller's Office SFS@BFS.UWM.EDU.
