Running the general ledger inside Fineract after the chart of accounts is designed: accounting modes, closures, mappings, journal entries, currencies, taxes and feeding an external ERP.
Choosing the accounting mode per product: cash based, periodic accrual or upfront accrual for loans and cash based for savings, what each posts and when, and how the choice affects income recognition and reconciliation.
Locking periods in the Fineract ledger: per-office closures, what they block for manual and portfolio entries, month-end and year-end routines, and handling backdated transactions after a close.
Mapping Fineract organization-level financial activities, such as asset transfer and liability transfer, to general ledger accounts so account transfers between savings and loans post correctly, and checking mappings before go-live.
Keeping ledger reporting fast as transaction volume grows: the Journal Entry Aggregation job, chunk sizes, date range tracking, excluding recent days and the schema it uses.
Running products in more than one currency: enabling currencies, product currency and decimal settings, rounding multiples, and why each loan or savings account stays in a single currency.
Configuring taxes in Fineract: tax components and groups, tax on loan fees and penalties with separate journal lines, withholding tax on savings interest, and testing tax liability accounts.
Routing cash to the right ledger accounts: payment types, mapping payment channels to fund sources, fee and penalty income mappings, and funds for donor or investor money.
Letting branch staff post entries safely: manual journal entries, accounting rules with preselected or restricted accounts, compound entries, reversals and maker-checker on postings.
Feeding Fineract accounting into an ERP general ledger: pulling journal entries through the API or consuming business events, summarizing by GL account and office, and reconciling both ledgers.
