What is sub ledger? How is it linked to GL?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / brian mcvicker
A sub ledger is used for tracking individual items and
transactions separate to the General Ledger (GL). Sub-
ledgers may exist for, but are not limited to Accounts
Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), Inventory and Fixed
Assets etc. Without a sub-ledger individual customers or
inventory items would require their own GL code making the
GL unnecessarily large. Sub-ledgers also allow for more
specific detail to be included in transaction details. Each
sub-ledger links to the GL by way of a control account
(e.g. Debtors control the AR sub-ledger etc.). The total of
the sub-ledger account should equal the balabce in the
control account at all times. Individual transactions
should be posted via sub-ledger not directly to the control
account. Reconciliations should be performed between the
sub-ledger and control account on at least a monthly basis
to ensure this is the case.

Answer / suvankar pal
Sub ledger is the master data of Vendor, customer and Assets
A/C. Individual Item wise report we can get from it. By
reconciliation account sub ledger are linked with general
ledger where we can get the merged report. i.e. Total of
Assets, Customer & Vendor in Balance Sheet.

Answer / mohan
GL a/c is a consolidated a/c for sub-ledger. It is not
possible to show the line item wise details of all the
Customers, Vendors & Assets in the B/S. So whatever the
postings made in these sub-ledgers will get posted into GL
a/c. The GL(Recon a/c)will be linked in the Customer,
Vendor & Asset Master data.

Answer / oscar l palma
sub ledgers are usually entries which needs constant
monitoring due to the density of its documentation daily
and needs also to be accounted for payments and sometimes
for collections. Thats why it must be linked to GL for
balancing the whole accounts.

SUB LEDGER (Depatmental Operating Accounts)
An account in the Sub Ledger has a non-zero first digit (eg. 3-3XXXX) and reflects all budget, revenue, expense and encumbrance activity for the current year. Except for a very few cases, all requisitions should be prepared using Sub Ledger accounts.
