Calendars define the time dimension of accounting in the General Ledger. Every ledger references a calendar, and every journal entry is posted into one of that calendar's periods. Period statuses control when each period is open or closed for a given application, allowing different modules to close at different times.
The FGL data model is built around five core areas — Chart of Accounts, Periods and Calendars, Ledgers, Journals, and Balances — with supporting entities for value sets, segments, code combinations, and period statuses. Understanding how these relate is the key to understanding how Raytio records and reports on financial activity.
Raytio's Financials – General Ledger (FGL) module is the central accounting record for your organisation. It manages the chart of accounts, ledgers, calendars, currency rates, journal entries, posting, and stored balances. Sub-ledger modules such as Accounts Receivable (FAR) and Accounts Payable (FAP) feed transactions into the general ledger, where they are posted and rolled up into period balances.
