The General Ledger is a system-generated ledger that is automatically created for you when your instance is deployed. It is best for grouping balances that belong to your organization, e.g., @Revenue, @Fees, etc. Balances in the General Ledger are marked with the @ icon indicator in your Transactions and Balances tables.

For how the General Ledger works in Blnk, see the general ledger guide.

Blnk checks if a balance exists with the given indicator. If it does, it creates a transaction to the balance. If it doesn’t, the balance is automatically created in your General Ledger with the given indicator and the transaction is mapped to it.
Suggested values for a new @Revenue balance: Amount 500.00, Currency USD, Precision 100, Source @FundingPool, Destination @Revenue, Description Platform revenue - May. Enable Apply overdraft on the source if the balance has insufficient funds.
