In Sage 300 ERP there are some modules that are dependent on each other. For example, Order Entry requires Inventory Control and Accounts Receivable while Purchase Orders has tight integration with AP.
However, there are some modules that can run as standalone along with System Manager and those include AP, AR and Inventory Control.
When you activate a new company in Sage 300 ERP, you will notice that modules like Accounts Payable, Order Entry, and Accounts Receivable actually don’t require the General Ledger module to be activated. The only thing that is required is the G/L Subledger Services.
What is G/L Subledger Services you may ask? It creates the GL entry that would have been created if you had activated General Ledger. This means that the AP and AR entry that would have been created in GL, are still created but in CSV format. This file can be found by going to the following directory pathway:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Sage 300 ERP\COMPANY\[Insert Company Database] or whatever the Program Directory path you have assigned to Sage 300 ERP.
When you go to this folder, you want to look for a file called ??gltran.csv where the ?? can be replaced by the appropriate Sage 300 ERP module. So if you entered invoices in Accounts Payable, the file you want is APgltran.csv
When you open the CSV file, some things may not make sense to you. The Application Object Model can help you decipher what each of the headings mean.
However, if you have GL activated then these files will not exist in this folder.
