About This Course

In just one day, the Microsoft DynamicsT SL General Ledger class explores the accounting cycle and the processes required to enter financial data into the system. This course will also show you how to perform additional functions such as account/subaccount validation, budgeting, allocation, month-end closing, and consolidation.

A thorough understanding of these topics allows you to streamline monthly and year-end closing processes by learning how to automate routine activities such as account allocations, and reports. You will learn how to accelerate data entry with transaction batch options while reducing data entry errors by defining valid account and sub-account combinations. This course will also teach you how to define default values that automatically populate data fields and gather the information you need to make better business decisions by exploring powerful inquiry and lookup functions.
