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, such as statutory reporting, management accounts, consolidation adjustments, and so on.

​
Create a ledger

To create a ledger, go to Accounting and click Create ledger.
You will be asked to configure:
  • Name — a label to identify the ledger (e.g. “Statutory – IFRS”, “Management”)
  • Invoicing entity — the entity this ledger is attached to
  • Currency — the functional currency for this ledger; amounts in other currencies are converted using the exchange rate at invoice time
  • Journal entry pattern — the numbering format for journal entries (e.g. JE-{YYYY}-{number})
  • Ledger type — the starting chart of accounts and configuration to apply (see ledger types below)
If you plan to sync this ledger with an external accounting provider, select the account standard that matches your provider’s chart of accounts — this simplifies the account mapping later.

​
Ledger types

Hyperline supports the following ledger types, each pre-configured with a matching chart of accounts: Each ledger maintains its own chart of accounts, rules, and journal entry sequence independently.

​
Edit a ledger

To update a ledger’s name or entry pattern, go to Accounting > Settings and click Edit ledger.

​
Delete a ledger

Ledgers can be deleted from Accounting > Settings. Deleting a ledger permanently removes its accounts, rules, and journal entries.
Deleting a ledger is irreversible. Make sure you no longer need the ledger’s history before proceeding.
