Manage ledger accounts

In Rentman, invoices are split into multiple ledger rows which show the total amounts of each category.

Example: All rental items are automatically connected to the rental ledger, and all your sale items are connected to the sale ledger

By default, you have 7 ledger accounts. It's also possible to create your own ledger accounts and assign them to equipment, crew functions, and additional costs.

.

Default ledger accounts

You can find the default ledger accounts going to settings Configuration moduleFinancial > Ledgers.

Here is the list of the default ledgers in your Rentman account: rental, sale, crew, transport, insurance, other, and default.

These accounts are assigned automatically to equipment and functions based on their type (example: rental equipment is automatically assigned the rental ledger account; crew functions the crew account; etc.).

Add your ledger accounts

Adding your own ledger accounts is useful if you wish to differentiate between different sources of income. You can add as many ledger accounts as you want, depending on how you want to differentiate. Here's how:

  1. Go to settings Configuration moduleFinancial > Ledgers.
  2. Click on  + Add ledger
  3. Add a "Name" and an "Accounting Code".
  4. Confirm

Tip: Ledgers can also be added via an import. If equipment is imported with a ledger that is not already present in the database, Rentman will create a new ledger in the database and add the ledger to the respective equipment.
