Default Ledger

Overview 

The Default Ledger automatically defaults to the Actual Ledger and is the Transactional Ledger for an organization(s), which is used to record actual results. The Default Ledger can be modified to select a different ledger, if necessary. 

Note: If a record(s) has been posted to the Default Ledger, you will not be able to make modifications. If the Default Ledger needs to be changed after records have been posted, please contact our Customer Support Team for assistance.
