Documentation

Definition

G/L account used by the budgetary ledger (BL) to create a second line in the ledger containing a "reversed" amount (that is, an amount with a reversed sign in front of it) for each call of the account derivation, thus creating two separate lines that balance or offset each other.

Example
You have set 0030 as the G/L offset account and post $10 from a document for which the BL customizing, previously set up, requires a G/L account 0040 for the credit side. The BL result is as follows:

Debit side:        $10 on G/L account 0030

Credit side:    $10 on G/L account 0040
