A legacy ledger record type that has been retired. When xMatix moved to the balanced journal ledger, the storage behind General Ledger was removed. The entity is in no app or menu, nothing in posting creates or reads it, and the platform refuses any attempt to read or save one, for example through the data API or an import, with the error "Entity type 'GeneralLedger' not found in model." Its definition, forms, a list view, a document name setting and security grants are still seeded, but none of them can take effect. Every ledger movement is now a line of a posted Journal: the Journal header carries the date, source document and company, and each Journal Line carries the GL account, party, debit or credit and dimensions. For account movements, use the General Ledger action on a Fiscal Year or the statement screens in the Finance app.
