General ledger accounts (also known as accounting accounts) on the Pismo platform maintain a comprehensive record of all financial transactions that occur within an organization. An accounting script is a configuration that identifies two general ledger accounts used in the transaction—one for the debit side and the other for the credit side. This supports the double-entry accounting method, which is a common accounting strategy that ensures comprehensive and accurate financial reporting.

For information about general ledger accounts on the Pismo platform, refer to Accounting overview.
