Excerpt

Off Book: Off Book programs ... are used to account for and store the details of an expense that will be paid to an AP Vendor in the future. The expense and accrual entries are included with the Sales transaction's Journal Entry and the details are added to the Broker Balance sub-ledger. When Brokerage programs are use Sales Transactions to automate rule-based entries to an Off Book sub-ledger. These balances can be paid (to a customer or vendor) in the future or written off. These programs do not impact the General Ledger when the Sales transaction is posted, and they are not visible to the customer. They only impact the General Ledger when they are Settled. When they are 'Settled', AP Invoices or AR Credit Memos are created to debit the accrual account programs assigned 'Expense Account' and credit the Vendor's Accounts Payable or Customer's Accounts Receivable account. This moves the sub-leger ledger balance from the Broker to the VendorThese are often used to keep a tally of money that can be used for food shows and other marketing activities. Balances that are written off have no impact on the General Ledger.
