General Ledger & Financial Control

General ledger with control over every posting

General Ledger & Financial Control is the core of the accounts: chart of accounts, journals, budgets, period closing and group consolidation. HYP ERP shows each GL document as parked or posted, so open entries are followed up before close.

General ledger capabilities for structured financial control

Bookkeeping records transactions. Financial control decides whether they can be trusted. When journals are prepared in spreadsheets, cutoffs are informal and group mapping lives in one person's file, every close depends on manual checks.

Chart of accounts

Define account structures that keep posting and financial classification consistent, and that support branch operations, departmental visibility, project-linked transactions and group-level reporting.

Journal processing and exchange rates

Handle standard journals, scheduled entries, intercompany journal vouchers and financial adjustments, using maintained exchange rates. Each entry shows whether it is pending, parked, posted or under review, which supports review processes and posting discipline.

Opening balances, transfers and prepaid expenses

Record opening balances, process financial transfers and treat prepaid expenses across periods in a structured way, without manual workarounds that weaken period-based control.

Budget structures and planned-versus-actual monitoring

Define budget structures and budget amounts, compare planned with actual activity, and follow spending across departments, cost structures and operational areas.

Period and year closing

Control financial cutoffs for month-end and year-end, see what remains open before closing, and keep reporting cycles reliable through consistent posting discipline.

Posted and parked document visibility

Review posted, parked and pending GL documents with detailed inquiry and overview functions, so follow-up and accountability stay clear when many users work in the ledger.

Multi-entity consolidation

Map accounts between companies and group structures, view a consolidated trial balance and report across several companies while keeping each entity's operational detail.
