What is GL coding on an invoice?

GL coding is tagging an invoice to the general-ledger account, and often a cost center or project, that the spend belongs to. It is what turns a pile of paid invoices into a report you can read by category. The coding itself is a judgment call, not a field printed on the document.

Why it takes judgment

The account an invoice belongs to is a decision. The same office-supply vendor might be overhead one month and a project cost the next. That is why coding stays with someone who knows the books.

Where verified data helps

InvoiceJet does not assign GL codes for you. It hands you clean, verified line items and vendor details, and lets you tag invoices by entity for per-client or per-project tracking, so the coding step starts from accurate data and exports cleanly.

Common questions

Does InvoiceJet auto-code invoices to GL accounts?

No. It gives you verified fields and entity tags to code from and export. The account assignment stays yours.
