GL Link Module

The General Ledger Link (GL-Link) module provides an interface to the general ledger module of third-party accounting systems.  This module summarizes data in Keystroke for entry into the general ledger of an accounting system.  Journal entries are generated for sales, purchases, accounts receivable and inventory variance transactions. GL-Link data can be output to a standard printed report format or to a file which is formatted for posting into various third-party accounting systems.

GL-Link currently includes interface options for the following specific programs: BusinessWorks, QuickBooks, Peachtree, CYMA Systems, ACCPAC, Macola and others.

The Standard Link may be used with systems not listed if your accounting system has a journal entry import function that is capable of importing from a delimited text file. Some accounting systems' import functions also include a mapping feature allowing the user to define the format and layout for file to be imported (such as MAS90). If no such mapping feature is available, the Keystroke POS mapping utility ( mapfile.exe ) may be used to perform the same task before the file is imported.

Posting can be performed as frequently as necessary and is similar to running a report where a date/time range can be specified to post (e.g., calendar month, weekly, daily, etc.). The Report option can be used to review entries before posting, and/or to manually post journal entries in any accounting program.
