The Manage GL Sales Rules page is part of the GL Sales Module.
The Manage GL Sales Rules page allows Users to view and edit the GL Sales Rules.
GL Sales Rules define how Sales data from the POS is associated with GL Codes. When Sales data is imported through the nightly poll, Radar will apply the current GL Sales Rules to the Sales data, then post the appropriate amounts per GL Code to the General Ledger. The posted General Ledger information is then used for GL-level reporting, such as the Ops Statement and GL Sales Export.
The categories used for mapping are pulled directly from the POS and are associated with a specific Sale Type (Sales, Comp, Guests, etc.). Each mapping between a category and a GL Code is contained within a single GL Sales Rule.
