Create a Primary Ledger

Create a primary ledger as your main record-keeping ledger. A primary ledger records transactional balances by using a chart of accounts with a calendar, currency, and accounting rules implemented in an accounting method.

The primary ledger is closely associated with the subledger transactions and provides context and accounting for them.
