G/L Security

Included with the General Ledger module, the G/L Security module enables organizations to control which users can view or use certain general ledger accounts based on segment validation in G/L Security settings.

Control access to any account in your general ledger by segment. This allows you to limit user activity to a prescribed set of accounts, blocking sensitive or confidential accounts from being seen or changed.
Tailor access to accounts for each Sage Accpac user or group of users
Set access rights for single or multi-segment validation or for single or multiple account validation
Restrict users from viewing batches containing accounts from which they are prohibited

G/L Consolidations (Add On)

G/L Consolidations lets you transfer and merge General Ledger account and transaction information between separate company and branch office locations. It is also designed to enable subsidiaries and holding companies to run without being on the same network or accounting database. G/L Consolidations provides a feature set that allows your company to define the level of detail to consolidate and provides a comprehensive audit trail. The system is available in two versions: a full version for the head office and a remote-sites version for branch offices.
