Module
Ledger
Journals, periods and statements that close — under everything else you already run.
What it produces
- Chart of accounts, journals and a period that can be opened and closed by a named person
- Trial balance, profit and loss, and balance sheet, each figure tracing to its journal lines
- Sub-ledger postings from the invoices, receipts and stock movements already recorded here
- A closed period that refuses a back-dated entry rather than silently accepting one
A worked example
Illustrative only — nothing here posts a journal today
the figures a trial balance would carry come from invoices and stock movements already held
what is missing is the double entry between them, and the period that closes over it
whether it should be built here at all is an open question, not a dated plan
Illustrative figures. On your tenant the same page shows yours.
Why it is hard
The part that is not a report.
SIAARU does not keep your books. It records receivables, payables and stock movements and computes from them, and Tally or your ERP still holds the ledger those figures belong to. This page exists so that the Finance heading on the module list is not silently empty, and so the answer to "does it keep my books" is written down rather than given on a call. Whether a ledger should be built here at all is an open question: a ledger is a different product with a different standard of proof, and putting one behind a control tower that reads a company's records is not obviously the right shape for either.
Opened by the finance director and the owner — what each of them sees first.
Said before you ask
What we don’t do.
SIAARU decides from your records and nothing else. It carries no copy of the world’s data, states no figure your systems have not, and acts in nobody’s name. Where your data does not support an answer, it says so by name rather than producing a confident one — which is the whole reason a decision taken on it holds up later.
Nothing of this is built. There is no chart of accounts, no journal and no period in the schema, and this entry exists so that the Finance heading is not silently empty. Today SIAARU records receivables, payables and stock movements and computes from them; it does not keep your books, and Tally or your ERP still does. Whether it should is a decision rather than a backlog item: a ledger is a different product with a different standard of proof, and putting one behind a control tower that reads your records is not obviously the right shape.
Where this sits
One of 32 modules, on one engine.
Ledger reads the same reconciled data as everything else SIAARU runs — connected read-only to your ERP, scored on the way in, measured in SQL. How that engine works is a page of its own. The other 31 modules, each with the state it is really in and the reason where it is not switched on, are on the module list; what this one costs, and what it costs beside the rest, is on the pricing page.
