Apply G/L Entries
by bydynamics
Match debit and credit entries on the same G/L account to track which amounts are settled.
What is Apply G/L Entries?
Apply G/L Entries adds the ability to apply and unapply general ledger entries in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — a capability not available in the standard product. Match debit and credit entries on the same G/L account to track which amounts are settled and which remain open, giving you real-time insight into outstanding balances at the entry level.
Who benefits from this app?
This app is designed for finance professionals, controllers, and accountants who need to reconcile and track the settlement status of individual G/L entries. It is especially valuable for organizations that use balance sheet accounts (such as intercompany, suspense, or clearing accounts) where knowing which entries are still open is essential for accurate financial reporting and period-end closing.
What problem does it solve?
Standard Business Central does not support applying G/L entries the way it does for customer, vendor, or bank ledger entries. This means finance teams have no built-in way to mark general ledger entries as settled, track remaining amounts, or see which entries are still outstanding. The result is manual workarounds, spreadsheets, and a lack of transparency on balance sheet accounts — leading to errors, reconciliation delays, and audit risk.
Apply G/L Entries eliminates these pain points by bringing entry-level application directly into the general ledger.
Seamless migration from the discontinued NL Localization
If your database previously used the Dutch (NL) localized "Apply G/L Entries" functionality — which Microsoft has deprecated and removed from the standard product — your historical application data is still present in the database. Apply G/L Entries by bydynamics automatically detects these legacy fields and migrates your existing application data to the new data model upon installation. No manual intervention required — your application history is preserved and carried forward.
More robust and consistent than the NL Localization
The former NL localized implementation was known to produce inconsistent application states under certain conditions, such as partially applied entries becoming incorrectly marked as closed or remaining amounts drifting out of sync. Apply G/L Entries by bydynamics addresses these shortcomings with a redesigned application engine that enforces strict validation before posting: all entries must belong to the same G/L account, entries cannot be applied to themselves, and only genuinely open entries can participate in an application. The result is a reliable, consistent ledger you can trust.
