"General Ledger Transaction Lines" holds the lines of the financial transactions, read from `BUS_GL_TRANSACTION_LINES_R`. It is the largest subject of the product: even a small administration holds several thousand lines.
![[20260903-business-general-ledger-transaction-lines.png]]
The list is the widest of the financial subjects and carries, next to the company:
- the transaction and the line number within it;
- the description and the moment of creation;
- the amount in the currency of the general ledger, with the name of that currency;
- the amount in the original currency, with the name of that currency;
- the general ledger account, as a code and a name;
- the year and the period the line is booked in;
- the cost centre and the cost unit, each as a code and a name;
- the organisation and the project, each as a code and a name.
## The Line Number
The line number is a text, not a number. Platforms differ in what they put there: a plain ordinal, a padded number, or a composite such as `0:1` which joins the transaction and the line. Sorting on the column is therefore alphabetical rather than numerical.
