SUB LEDGER (Depatmental Operating Accounts)

An account in the Sub Ledger has a non-zero first digit (eg. 3-3XXXX) and reflects all budget, revenue, expense and encumbrance activity for the current year. Except for a very few cases, all requisitions should be prepared using Sub Ledger accounts.

GENERAL LEDGER

An account in the General Ledger has zero as its first digit (eg. 0-3XXXX) and reflects the cumulative status to date of the account. The most important information on the General Ledger account statement is the fund balance account control (3X00, where X represents the second digit of the account number). This amount is the cumulative account balance. If the amount is a credit (negative figure) there is a surplus in the account. If the amount is a debit (positive figure) there is a deficit in the account.

Should general ledger be capitalized if refering to it like General Ledger entries?

In general, "general ledger" should not be capitalized when used in a sentence unless it is part of a title or a heading. Therefore, you would typically write "general ledger entries" in lowercase. However, if you are referring to a specific system or software that uses "General Ledger" as part of its official name, then capitalization would be appropriate in that context.
