A ledger is a set of books attached to one of your invoicing entities. All journal entries, accounts, and accounting rules are scoped to a ledger. You can create multiple ledgers per invoicing entity to maintain separate books for different purposes — statutory reporting, management accounts, consolidation adjustments, and so on.Documentation Index
