For example, when you approve an Invoice in the Receivables module, this can cause a General Ledger Transaction to be generated automatically, debiting a Debtor Account and crediting a Sales Account and, if appropriate, a Tax Account.Use this setting to specify when you want this automatic generation of Transactions to be activated, and from which Sub Systems. To work with this setting, ensure you are in the General Ledger and click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel to open the 'Settings' list. Double-click 'Sub Systems' in this list to open the following window: Use the From Date field to indicate the date from which Transactions are to be generated. This will be useful when you are entering opening balances when you are changing to Books by HansaWorld from another accounting system. If you have entered an overall opening balance for the Debtor Account for example, any Invoices that you transfer from the old system and enter as Receivables opening balances should not generate Transactions posting to that Account as well. It is therefore recommended that you switch on the check boxes according to your requirements and that, for each Sub System, you enter a From Date that is later than the Transaction Date used in all your opening balance transactions. This will ensure that the opening balances will not be posted to the General Ledger, and there will also be no danger that you will forget to switch the check boxes on when you need to enter new Sub Systems transactions. Please refer to the Opening Balances page for more information about entering opening balances. --- In this chapter:
