Overview
The Web view of the General Ledger (GL) in Wrapbook is an interactive, real-time ledger interface within the Production Accounting Suite (PAS) that allows authorized company team members to view, filter, and analyze posted transactional activity directly in the browser.
Unlike the General Ledger Report, which is designed for generating downloadable PDF or CSV exports for formal reporting and sharing, the Web view is built for day-to-day operational review and workflow management.
In the Web view of the GL you can:
Dynamically filter transactions
Review line-level details
Identify and manage distribution updates more efficiently without generating a report file.
GL Web view filters
In the Web view of the GL, you can use the Search bar and the filters to limit your view to specific types of distribution lines.

In the left-side navigation, expand the ACCOUNTING menu, and then click Accounting reports
Next to General ledger, click the Web button
In the GL Web view, you can use the Search bar and filters to find the distribution lines that you want to update
Click the checkboxes to select the distribution lines that you want to bulk edit, and then click the Bulk edit button at the bottom of the GL
In the Bulk edit popup, click the dropdown menu next to Change to select what you want to update in the distribution lines. Then click the box next to it to select the change to be made.
When you’re ready, click the Apply button
After you click Apply:
Wrapbook updates the selected distribution lines immediately in the GL
The changes are reflected in real time in the Web view of the GL, allowing you to review the updated account coding, tags, or other modified fields directly on screen
If Include distribution changes is enabled in your filters, you’ll also be able to see the distribution update activity in the ledger results
These updates impact reporting going forward, meaning any newly generated General Ledger Reports, Trial Balance Reports, or Cost Reports will reflect the revised distribution details

Important considerations when using the GL Web view
While working in the Web view of the GL, it’s important to be aware of the following:
The Web view reflects live ledger data
The Web view displays real-time transactional activity. Any distribution changes you apply will immediately impact how transactions appear in:
If you’re working mid-close or mid-reporting cycle, be sure you understand how bulk edits will affect downstream reporting.
Distribution edits do not change source transaction amounts
Bulk edits in the GL update distribution coding (such as account, tags, or other distribution fields), but they do not change:
The original transaction amount
The vendor
The transaction type
The underlying AP invoice, Payroll, JE, or Vendor Payment record
If you need to modify the original transaction itself, you must do so from its source module (for example: AP invoices, Journal entries, Payroll, etc.).
Use filters strategically before bulk editing
Before applying bulk edits:
Narrow your results using Effective date, Transaction type, or ACCT
Confirm that Transaction status is set appropriately (for example, Posted vs All statuses)
Use Include distribution changes if you need to review prior updates
This helps prevent unintended edits across periods, vendors, or account ranges.
Review distribution changes for audit clarity
If you're performing reclasses or correcting coding:
Enable Include distribution changes to see historical distribution updates
Review credit entries using TxCR when validating balancing entries
Confirm totals before and after edits to ensure accounts remain balanced
This is especially important during:
Period close
Audit prep
Budget vs actual review
Tax incentive or cost certification workflows
Web view vs. GL Report: when to use each
Use the Web view when you need to:
Investigate transactions
Reclass or correct distributions
Perform operational clean-up
Review activity quickly without exporting
Use the General Ledger Report when you need to:
Generate a formal deliverable
Share reports with production, studio, or auditors
Export to PDF or CSV
Archive period activity
