credit party in the journal voucher. The percentage is the percentage of each account
of the total amount of the journal vouchers that has been entered at the upper part of
the screen. If the total amount of the journal voucher is 1.000.000 riyals then the user
entered 10% in the creditor percentage field of the amount in front of the first account
of the credit party the system will automatically calculate the amount of the account
which will be 100.000 riyals appears in the creditor amount field, with the ability to edit

Accounts screen into groups, where these accounts will be under groups. This is an
optional screen and it is used for the purpose of gathering similar accounts under groups, In

advantage is to divide the different levels of the Chart of Accounts such as (summarized,
general, subsidiary, and analytical), or to divide the Chart of Accounts into accounts groups
based on the activity when the activity of the corporation varies. For example, the user can
create a group for shareholders accounts or accounts groups for customers according to
specific categories such as (VIP customers’ accounts group) and (Normal Customer), and
the advantage of this division feature is for extracting different reports accounts through the

the chart of accounts, provided that it is associated with the (Intermediate accounts) in the
Chart of Accounts. These accounts will do specific functions in the system automatically,
without direct intervention by the user and that’s why it has been named as intermediate
accounts. For example, the currency difference account, once defined in its specified field,
the system will automatically add any currency differences, that may result from financial
transactions on accounts with foreign currencies due to changes in exchange rates , when
Carrying out the monthly closing. It is not necessarily to define all of those accounts, where
the user only defines the accounts that will be used by the company. The intermediate
accounts are defined through the screen that appears as in the following form definition:

General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
Now, it’s month end (Closing). The exchange rate on April 30th, we now find that 1 USD =
215 YER. According to the exchange rate changes, the fund account balance appears with
215,000 YER with the loss of 5,000 YER. The system posts this loss to difference to the
intermediate account that is entered in this field. In this case the balance of this (Currency
Difference account) appears after the monthly closing creditor with (5,000) YR.
Note: that with the exchange rate may change during the
financial period more than once and therefore the exchange
differences will be calculated based on the exchange rate in
each transaction.
- The L/C Costing Account: The system deals with this account when purchases are
made by L/Cs or remittances. When the L/C is closed, the system loads this account
with all costs made on the L/C, and then loads each item with its all related costs,
including the bill amount, shipment, insurance, customs, and other expenses, until the
arrival and storage of goods in the warehouses.
28 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
Example:
1- Recoding the L/C costing using journal entry or journal voucher:
Bank/Fund/Vendor XXX
2- The system calculates and close the L/C Costing automatically to this account
you enter in this field and create the following entry:
3- When the purchase invoice is posted and item are received to the inventory the
system creates the following entry:
Inventory XXX
- Loss of Goods Account: This field is used to enter the interface account of the Lost
Items account. The system uses this account when there is a difference between the
quantity shown on the purchases invoice and the quantity shown on the import order.
This difference may appear because of shipping errors or due to damages in the goods
or due to any other reason. The system posts the amount of the deficient quantity

Chart of accounts
Use: The Chart of Accounts Screen is used for the purpose entering the chart of accounts
of the enterprise, and this screen is considered to be one of the most import screens of the
system, which working on the system is based on this screen. The system administrator
starts entering the accounts through this screen after preparing necessary configurations
such as preparing the financial period and currencies and accounts groups in the
configurations screens. The chart of accounts is considered to be the main pillar upon which
the accounting data entry process as well as consequent operations during the accounting
period based on that the user can get different and organized output and reports. Therefore
the enterprise owner or the authorized representative must has a clear vision for
restructuring the chart of accounts before starting entering the accounts to the system.
Building the chart of accounts tree must commensurate with the size and activity of the
enterprise, where building the chart of accounts is done in several main levels and a single
sub-level, in the system only the sub-accounts that will be dealt with in the system’s
various screens, while the system will financial impact the main levels automatically. The
chat of accounts will be entered through the screen that appears, as in the following figure:
43 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
(1). The main account has to be entered previously. Otherwise, the main account that
must be entered has to be one of these accounts: Assets – Liabilities – Expenses –
Revenues. In this case, write the number (0) in this field and then write the number (1)
as the main account for the accounts directly branched from the Assets, the number
(2) for the accounts directly branched from the Liabilities, and so on. The account
number to be entered must include its main account number related to it. Another
example, for the Petty Cash account number "111", its main account is the Current
Assets account number "11". Similarly, for the Cash-in-Hand account number
"11101", its main account is the Ready Cash account number "111", and so on.
- Account Code: This field is used to enter the account that the user is entering and
entering the account code is done by two methods:
• The First Method: Enter the account number manually.
• The Second Method: The system generates number automatically if the system
administrator has selected the option (Generation Of Sub-Accounts, Depending On
The Main Account Number) in the Options Screen In General Ledger System
Configurations, and by this method, the system generates the account code
automatically based on the Last accounts serial number branching from the main
account It was entered in the previous field (Parent Code).
- Account Name: This field is used to enter the account name, and will be dealt with
along with the account number in the different system screens
- Account Foreign Name: This field is used to enter the account name in a foreign
language.
- Level: The system will display the level automatically in this field after specifying the
parent account of the entered account. The account will be given a level that follows
the level of the main account. The system prevents user from changing the level
because it places the account in its correct location in the chart of accounts. This level
is taken into consideration when issuing reports. Notice that the system allows the
expansion of the accounts series up to the sixteenth level.

General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
Hint
All Sub-accounts are supposed to be in one Level (the last
level) in order to extract balanced reports, and to prevent
errors the system administrator can specify one level for the
sub-accounts through the use of the option (Level sub-
accounts) in the general ledger system – configuration –
options screen and specifying the number of level in this
Options.
assuming that the level determined is No. 5 as sub-accounts
level in the options, it means that the system will prevent
specify the account type as a (sub) only if it is ranked as (5),
and as a result all sub-accounts will be at the same level.
- Account Type: This field is used to specify the type of the account, and whether the
account is a main account or sub-account:
• Main: this option is selected for all levels of chart of accounts except for the last
level.
• Sub: this option is selected for the last level of the chart of accounts, whose
accounts will be dealt with directly in the various transactions of the system.
- Joined Account: This field is used if the user account that is encoded range of
specific accounts linked to desire, is the use of this field is optional purpose is to get
reports about belonging to each group accounts, and are determined group from
among the groups that appear to build on what has been encoded in screen accounts
groups in creating a general ledger.
Hint
- Many accounts that belonging to different main accounts
can be linked in one group, for example, the user can link
the accounts of a specific employee (s) such as advances
account and salaries account and other account in one
group.
45 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
- The user can use the accounts group field during entering
the account, and can be used later after creating the chart
of accounts.

account, customer account, intermediate account, or other accounts. Accordingly, these
accounts will be used in the systems and screens specified for them.
Hint
- If a main account is associated, this will be reflected on all
accounts branched from it either main or subsidiary.
- Currency: the currency section is used to determine the sub-account currency where
at least one currency should be linked to the account. The system allows the user to
connect more than one currency to each sub-account, while the main accounts will
only take the local currency of the enterprise. Here, the system displays all the
available currency (ies) that have been entered on the Currencies Data screen, and the
user Clicks (√) on the desired currency that the sub account uses from the list.
• Maximum limit: This column is used for sub-accounts. In this column the system
enables the user to specify a maximum limit as an amount for any account of the
chart of account (cash in hand, banks…etc.). Using this limit the system will send a
warning massage if the account balance exceed this limit.
• Minimum Limit: This column is used for sub-accounts. In this column the system
enables specifying the minimum limit of the accounts limit as desired. The minimum
46 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
limit is usually used to face unexpected cases such as keeping an amount for a
petty cash or for any other cases.
Practical Example
- If the user specifies the maximum limit for the employee's advances account as
(200,000 Riyals), so that once the advance or advances of the employee reaches or
exceeds the limit specified, using payment voucher or journal voucher the system will
alert the user of this excess.
- If the user specifies the minimum limit of the fund account for Emergencies as liquidity
needs of (500,000 Riyals), then once the user issue a payment voucher from the fund
and the fund balance is equal or less than the amount specified the system will alert
the user.
- Active: by clicking on this option the user can stop dealing with any currency of the
account currencies.
Hint
The system administrator is the only user who can exceed the
maximum and minimum limits.
- Create Chart of Accounts: User can get a default chart of accounts of with main
levels only. If the user wishes to take advantage of this service, then the user clicks on
this button. The system creates chart of accounts with main levels, and the user will
have to input sub-accounts only.
Hint
The user can take advantage of this feature only at the
beginning of working on the system and before adding any
other accounts.
- Import from Excel: the user can import chart of accounts from excel file by clicking on
the Import from Excel File button.
47 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
Hint
- The user can only take advantage of this feature in the

- Save: The data entered is saved by any of the data saving available methods.
Hint
- Accounts that have been added appear on the right part of
the screen.
- the Accounts are entered in this screen for only once, which
is at the beginning of working on the system, and the
system will transfer these accounts when opening a new
financial year to be used in the New financial Year's
transactions with the possibility of adding any accounts at
any time.
- The system does not allow the user to delete main account
if this account has main or sub-accounts associated with.
- The system does not allow the user to delete an account if

Cost Centers
Use: the cost centers screen is used for adding the various cost centers that the company
needs to obtain their reports and outputs, and based on work in the system if the nature
and size of the activity. Cost centers may be administrative, technical, whether it is projects,
programs, production units or other fields of business. It is required that the people in
charge in the enterprise to be fully familiar with its requirements before entering the cost
centers, so that if the enterprise wishes to holding special books of costs accounts or wants
to evaluate certain activities with its expenses or revenues or both, then the enterprise can
take benefit from using cost centers in the system
The Cost Centers screen can be used also for creating a detailed chart of cost centers,
which contains extensive details in the accounts more than what is available in the Chart of
Accounts, and having a classification of accounts similar to that in the Chart of Accounts. As

The cost centers will be entered through the screen that appears as in the following figure:
50 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
- Main Center: This field is used to enter the main cost center that is on the top of the
cost center that is being entered, if the main cost center being entered is in the first
level the user enters the number zero (0), but if it was in the same level of other levels
then the cost center is determined among the cost centers that have been encoded
before.
- Cost Center Number: This field is used to enter a cost center which is being entered.

Cash in Hand
Use: The Cash in Hand Screen is used for the purpose of configuring the company's funds.
This screen should be used after using the Chart of Account Screen and before using
transaction related. The data entered in this screen will be used for depositing/in or
paying/out cash in the system through the Payment and receive vouchers screens and in
other different system screens (GL, Purchase, or Sales). And through this screen the user
links each fund by its account in the chart of accounts, also through this screen the user
sets the sequence number of the receive and payment vouchers issued from the funds, and
whether this sequence is only one sequence for all funds or a special sequence for each
funds documents. The funds details are entered through the screen that appears as in the
following figure:
53 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
- Cash Name: The fund’s Name appears in this field automatically once the user selects
the account number in the previous Cash Account Field, the fund’s default name that
appeared can be edited by the user to any name desired by the user.
- Serial No.: This field is used to specify the type of sequence desired to be in the
receive and payment vouchers screens, and whether the user wishes to have only one
sequence for all funds or wants to have a separate sequence for each Fund. So if the
user enters the same number in this field for all funds, the system will grant the receive
vouchers - of all funds – only one sequence, and therefore the system will not be able
to issue a receive voucher with the same sequence number, and that’s because there
is only one sequence for all funds, while if the user wants to grant the receive
vouchers of each fund an independent sequence number from other funds, then the
user should enter in this field when entering the funds a different number for each
different fund. In this case the system will generate a different sequence number of
receive vouchers of each fund.
Hint
The system enables the user to have one sequence for some
funds and another sequence other different funds, if we
assume that the enterprise has six funds, and the system
administrator wants to have one sequence for the first and
second fund, while the sequence of the second and the third
and fourth funds has a different sequence from the sequence
of the first and second funds, and wants to have a different
sequence for the fifth Fund, and different from the four
previous fund’s sequences and the sequence of the sixth fund
differs from the rest of the funds. In this case the user enters
the number (1) for the first and second funds, when entering
the fund’s details, and enters the number (2) for the third and
fourth funds when entering the fund’s details, and enters the
number (3) for the fifth fund when entering the fund’s details,
and enter the number (4) for the sixth fund when entering the
fund’s details.

Cash at Banks
Use: The Cash at Banks Screen is used for the purpose of configuring the banks the
company deals with. This screen should be used after using the Chart of Account Screen
and before using making any transactions related. The data entered in this screen will be
used for depositing/in or paying/out cash in the system through the Payment and receive
vouchers screens and in other different system screens (GL, Purchase, or Sales). And
through this screen the user links each bank by its account in the chart of accounts, also
through this screen the user sets the sequence number of the receive and payment
vouchers issued from the banks, and whether this sequence is only one sequence for all
banks or a special sequence for each bank documents. The banks details are entered
through the screen that appears as in the following figure:
56 Go to ➔ Content
General Ledger – Motakamel Plus V5
- Bank Name: The bank’s Name appears in this field automatically once the user
selects the account number in the previous Bank Account Field, the bank’s default
name that appeared can be edited by the user to any name desired by the user.
- Serial No.: This field is used to specify the type of sequence desired to be in the
receive and payment vouchers screens, and whether the user wishes to have only one
sequence for all banks or wants to have a separate sequence for each bank. So if the
user enters the same number in this field for all banks, the system will grant the
receive vouchers - of all banks – only one sequence, and therefore the system will not
be able to issue a receive voucher with the same sequence number, and that’s
because there is only one sequence for all banks, while if the user wants to grant the
receive vouchers of each bank an independent sequence number from other banks,
then the user should enter in this field when entering the banks a different number for
each different bank. In this case the system will generate a different sequence number
of receive vouchers of each bank.
Hint
The system enables the user to have one sequence for some
banks and another sequence other different banks, if we
assume that the enterprise has six banks, and the system
administrator wants to have one sequence for the first and
second banks, while the sequence of the second and third
and fourth banks has a different sequence from the sequence
of the first and second banks, and wants to have a different
sequence for the fifth bank, and different from the four
previous bank’s sequences and the sequence of the sixth
bank differs from the rest of the banks. In this case the user
enters the number (1) for the first and second banks when
entering the bank’s details, and enters the number (2) for the
third and fourth banks when entering the bank’s details, and
enters the number (3) for the fifth bank when entering the
bank’s details, and enter the number (4) for the sixth bank
when entering the bank’s details.

Opening Balances
Use: The Opening Balances screen is used for adding opening balances for sub-accounts
that have balances in the manual accounting records, so that the system at the end of the
fiscal year, will raise the final balances as opening balances to the next fiscal year
automatically. The opening balance is the balance that is brought forward from the end of
one accounting period to the beginning of a new accounting period. The process of adding
opening balances can be made either for accounts only or for accounts and cost centers.
When adding opening balances for accounts only, every account is given the same amount
that it ended with last year or last month. However, when adding opening balances for
accounts and cost centers, the opening balance for every account is added in accordance
with the number of cost centers repeated in this account. This process is made only if the
establishment uses cost centers in its financial procedures. The opening balances will be
added through the use of the screen only for once at the beginning working on the system,
and which appears as in the following figure:

then show it as estimates for the following month. If we assume that the budget
estimates for the first month of one of the accounts was 100,000 Riyals then the user
selects the percentage of 100%. The system will calculate the second month estimates
as 200,000 Riyals and then will add 100% to these estimates as estimates for the third
month, and based on that the system will calculate the percentage of the third month
estimates as 400,000 Riyals, meaning that it added 100% to the estimates of the

wants to mediate the under accrual expense account (Credit Cheques). The system
provides the user two methods of posting:
- First Method: Mediate Payable Notes Account- Single: This method is used if the
user wants to center only the payable notes account, meaning that the impact on the
bank account will be on the accrual, while the impact on the debtor party will be on the

fallow the same procedures reviewed in the third and fourth paragraphs of (Bank
Vouchers Posting).
- Second Method: Mediate Accrual Journal: This method is used when the user does
not wish to neither affect the bank account nor the vendor’s account or expenses the
(debit) accounts, and wants to mediate both of Payable Notes And Expenses Under
Accrual (Credit Payment checks), and in this method the financial impact will be on the
bank accounts and on the debit account and an intermediate entry will be established

and repeatedly into the system. Even if it is small vouchers rather than entering it all
over again, the user can import a previous similar voucher’s details into the screen and
make some adjustments - if necessary - in the amounts or the accounts of the
voucher and then save that data as a new voucher. If the user wishes to do so then
the user selects this option (✓), and as a result of this selection the system will

Multiplicity of Creditor
The Multiple Credit Tab is used when the user desires to use more than one account in the
creditor party with the Fund or Bank. In some cases, when making payments of an amount
the user will need to deduct the amount of the transaction from several accounts. In such
cases the user records the credit amount on more than one account.
- Practical Example: A payment of 100,000 SAR has been made from the Fund for the
employee (X) as a reward:
• The default entry of a payment voucher that has no multiple creditors will be as
follows:
From \ Rewards Account 100,000 SAR
To\ Fund Account 100.000 SAR
• Assuming that the employee (X) has an advance of 10,000 SAR and the enterprise
wants to deduct the amount of the advance and make payment of the remaining
amount in cash, in this case the creditor accounts are the Fund and the employee
advance accounts, so the details will be entered in the payment voucher screen as
follows :
▪ The amount of the fund 90,000 riyals (credit).
▪ In the multiplicity creditor tab the user enters the employee's advances account
of 10,000 riyals (credit).
▪ In the table at the lower part of the screen the user enters the rewards account
with the amount of $ 100,000 riyals (debit).

for the method of cheques posting where the user chooses one of them when receiving a
cheque receipt voucher which will commensurate with each case and those options are as
follows:
1 Voucher Date: This option is used if the user wants to affect the bank and the credit
accounts and to establish a journal entry on voucher date regardless of the cheque’s
accrual date.
2 Due Date: This option is used if the user wants to affect the bank and the credit

procedures as in the previous option (auto. posting), but the difference between the
two methods is that, in the previous method, the system affects the bank account on
accrual date automatically and without the user intervention, while in this method the
user must select the cheques that have already been deposited from the bank and
selects those cheque through (Receivable Checks Screen), and the cheques that will
be selected in that screen, will be considered as implemented by the bank and then
the financial impact will occur on the bank account.

credit cheques, and whether the user wishes to affect the credit party as (Customer) directly
or whether the user wants to mediate the under accrual expense account (Credit Cheques)
(Cheques Under Collection). The system provides the user two methods of posting:
First Method: Mediate Receivable Notes Account- Single: This method is used if the user
wants to center only the Receivable notes account, meaning that the impact on the bank
account will be on the accrual, while the impact on the credit party will be on the voucher’s
date, and this way requires mediating the Receivable notes account only, and fallow the
same procedures reviewed in the third and fourth paragraphs of (Bank Vouchers Posting).
Second Method: Mediate Accrual Journal: This method is used when the user does not
wish to neither affect the bank account nor the customer’s account or revenue the (credit)
accounts, and wants to mediate both of Receivable Notes And Revenue Under Accrual
(Credit Receivable checks), and in this method the financial impact will be on the bank
accounts and on the credit account and an intermediate entry will be established to monitor
the transaction as follows:
