1. Drill-down from the Chart of Accounts

- Reduced navigation between multiple screens
- Improved efficiency during audits and reconciliations
Navigation Path:
General Ledger → G/L Accounts → Chart of Accounts
Action:
Double‑click on the “Functional Balance” column of the required G/L Account. Upon double-clicking, the GL Transaction History screen pops up, listing posted transactions for the selected GL Account.
2. Export General Ledger Transactions
In Sage 300 2025, General Ledger transaction listings can be exported directly to external programs such as Microsoft Excel. Previously, users were limited to printing reports or manual data extraction.

On the above opened GL Transaction History screen, select File> Export.
In the export screen, select the desired external program in the “Type” section.
Specify the path where you want to export the report using the Browse button, and click on the OK button to export the report.
