End of the quarter. The tax authority requests a breakdown by account, and you want to see in one minute for each account: how much there was at the beginning, how much passed through debit and credit, how much is left. Opening a dozen turnover-balance sheets for each account takes too long. You need one table for the entire working database — this is the General Ledger. Another common case: the balance in the financial statement "doesn't add up," and you're looking for the account where the turnover looks suspicious. The General Ledger shows everything at once and lets you drill down into the postings. 1. Purpose The "General Ledger (standard)" is a summary register where, for each account (and subaccount) of the chart of accounts, balances at the beginning of the period, debit and credit turnovers, and the balance at the end are displayed. This is a classic accounting report for reconciling totals, preparing for period closing, and compiling the balance sheet. The report does not post or change anything — it only reads already posted documents. 2. Where to find it Menu path: section "Reports" → group "Standard reports" → "General Ledger". In some interfaces it is located next to the turnover-balance sheet. The quick way is to open it directly in 1C via a navigation link. Menu "Tools" (or the icon with the address bar) → "Go to navigation link" → paste: e1cib/list/Отчет.ГлавнаяКнигаТиповой If the navigation line is not visible, enable it: "Tools" → "Settings" → "Display the 'Go to navigation link' command". 2a. How to find out your release Menu "Help" → "About the program". In the window that opens you will see: - the platform version (for example, 8.3.24.xxxx); - the configuration release "Accounting for Kazakhstan," edition 3.0 — that same number like 3.0.74.2. The instructions below are verified on 3.0.74.2. On neighboring releases the fields are the same; only minor design details may differ. 3. How to fill in (configure) the report This is a report, so "filling in" means the generation parameters. Get them wrong and you'll get the wrong figures, so for each field I write what an incorrect value threatens. Field Why What happens if set incorrectly Period (REQUIRED) The boundaries for which turnovers are calculated. Usually a month, quarter, or year. Take a quarter instead of a month — turnovers will "balloon," the opening balance won't match the previous report. Organization (REQUIRED if there are several in the database) For which legal entity to collect data. Don't select it — you'll see mixed data across all organizations, the balance won't add up. Report currency In tenge (₸) by default. Affects the recalculation of currency accounts. Change it without need — currency balances will be recalculated at the exchange rate and "drift." Detail / account level Show only first-order accounts (1000, 3000) or with subaccounts (1210, 3310). Leave only the top level — you won't see which subaccount has the problem. Expanded / collapsed balance Whether to expand debit and credit by analytics. Collapse an active-passive account — you'll hide offsetting balances (for example, advances and debts on 3310). The settings are hidden under the "Show settings" button (or "Settings…"): - Filter — limit to specific accounts or an organization. Empty = all accounts. - Grouping — by subaccounts, by currencies. - Formatting — color highlighting, negatives in red. After configuring, press "Generate" (F5). Double-clicking any turnover cell opens the breakdown — down to the specific source document. 4. A worked example with figures and postings LLP "Astana-Trade," VAT at the rate of 16%. Two operations for September 2026. Operation 1. Purchase of goods from a supplier for 1,160,000 ₸ including VAT. - Cost excluding VAT: 1,000,000 ₸ - VAT 16%: 160,000 ₸ Postings upon receipt (document "Receipt of inventory and services"): Dt Ct Amount, ₸ Description 1330 3310 1,000,000 Goods received 1420 3310 160,000 Recoverable VAT on acquisition Operation 2. Sale of the same goods to a customer for 1,740,000 ₸ including VAT. - Sale value excluding VAT: 1,500,000 ₸ - VAT 16%: 240,000 ₸ - Cost of goods written off: 1,000,000 ₸ Postings upon sale (document "Sale of inventory and services"): Dt Ct Amount, ₸ Description 1210 6010 1,500,000 Revenue from sale 1210 3130 240,000 VAT payable 7010 1330 1,000,000 Cost of goods written off The customer paid to the account: Dt 1030 Ct 1210 — 1,740,000 ₸. How this looks in the General Ledger for September (opening balances are zero): Account Opening balance Debit turnover Credit turnover Closing balance 1030 Cash in current accounts — 1,740,000 — 1,740,000 (Dt) 1210 Accounts receivable from customers — 1,740,000 1,740,000 0 1330 Goods — 1,000,000 1,000,000 0 1420 VAT recoverable — 160,000 — 160,000 (Dt) 3130 VAT payable — — 240,000 240,000 (Ct) 3310 Accounts payable to suppliers — — 1,160,000 1,160,000 (Ct) 6010 Revenue from sale — — 1,500,000 1,500,000 (Ct) 7010 Cost of sales — 1,000,000 — 1,000,000 (Dt) What you immediately read from the table: VAT payable 240,000 minus recoverable 160,000 = 80,000 ₸ payable to the budget. Gross profit before closing: revenue 6010 (1,500,000) minus cost of sales 7010 (1,000,000) = 500,000 ₸. The debt to the supplier of 1,160,000 ₸ is still outstanding on 3310. All of this is in one window, without ten separate turnover-balance sheets. 5. Types of operation This is a report, not a document, so it has no "types of operation." But there are output modes that effectively change its purpose: - For all accounts — a complete general ledger for the balance sheet. - For one account / group of accounts (via filter) — a quick check of a specific area. - With expanded balance — for active-passive accounts (1210, 3310), where you need to see both receivables and payables separately. - With grouping by currencies — for currency accounts and revaluation. 6. What is generated during generation The report does not create postings, does not generate ESF/SNT, and does not write movements to registers — it only reads them. The data source is the accounting register "Self-supporting" (posted documents). Practical conclusion: if something is missing in the General Ledger, correct not the report but the source document. Drill down with a double click into the turnover → the posting will open → the document will open. Correct it there. ESF and SNT for operations are created in the sale/receipt documents themselves and are uploaded to the ESF IS, while the General Ledger merely reflects the already posted VAT amounts on accounts 1420 and 3130. 7. Print forms Using the "Print" button, the following are available: - General Ledger — the main tabular form (balances and turnovers by account). - General Ledger (by subaccounts) — with detail. The report is fully exported to Excel and PDF via "Save as…" — this is convenient for handing over to an auditor or the tax authority. 8. Common mistakes "Organization not selected" (or data for several legal entities is mixed). → In the report header, specify the specific organization. Until you select it, the totals for several LLPs are summed up, and the balance won't add up. The closing balance is not equal to the opening balance of the next period. → Usually the culprits are documents posted retroactively, or a month closing performed after you had already generated the report. Repost the month closing and generate again. "Turnovers on account 3130 do not match the VAT declaration." → Check the rate in the sale documents: in 2026 the RK applies 16%, not 12%. Documents posted at the old rate will give understated VAT. Find them through the breakdown of the turnover on 3130 and repost them. The report is empty even though documents exist. → The documents are not posted (they are drafts) or the report period does not cover their dates. Check the status of the documents and the period boundaries. A "red" negative balance on an active account (for example, 1330 in credit). → You wrote off more goods than were received. Drill down into the turnover on 1330 and find the sale without a sufficient balance — usually the chronology is violated or the receipt was not posted. 9. FAQ Q: How does the General Ledger differ from the turnover-balance sheet? A: The turnover-balance sheet and the General Ledger essentially show the same thing — balances and turnovers by account. The General Ledger is a classic accounting register form, more often used for official reporting and filing; the turnover-balance sheet is more flexible for operational work and analytics analysis. Q: Does the report create postings? A: No. It is only reading already posted documents. Figures must be corrected in the source documents, not in the report. Q: What VAT rate should be reflected on account 3130 in 2026? A: 16%. If you see turnovers calculated at 12%, these are documents at the outdated rate — they need to be reposted. Q: Why does the closing balance at the end of the month differ from the beginning of the next? A: Between generations, documents were posted retroactively or the month was closed again. Generate the report again after reposting the closing. Q: Can the General Ledger be built for just one account, for example 1210? A: Yes, set a filter by account in the settings. You will get balances and turnovers only for customer receivables. Q: How do I get from the report to a specific document? A: Double-click on the turnover amount → posting breakdown → double-click on the posting → the document will open. Q: Can the report be exported to Excel? A: Yes, "Save as…" → Excel or PDF. Formatting and groupings are preserved. Q: How do I collapse the balance on the active-passive account 3310? A: In the settings, disable the expanded balance. But remember: a collapsed balance will hide offsetting advances and debts — for analysis it is better to expand it. Q: Why are there no ESF and SNT in the report? A: Electronic documents are generated in the sale and receipt documents and uploaded to the ESF IS. The General Ledger shows only the VAT amounts settled on accounts 1420 and 3130. Q: For what period is it best to generate for the balance sheet? A: For annual reporting — a year, for interim reconciliation — a quarter or a month. The main thing is that the opening balance matches the end of the previous period. 10.
