Since the general ledger holds all of the information regarding every single transaction in the business’s history, it is the core of all of the business’s accounting activity. Balance sheets and income statements are both derived from information contained in the general ledger. Each entry it records the following information:

the date of the transaction, the balance of the transaction, and a description of the transaction.

Entering this information is referred to as “posting” a general transaction and the entry itself is referred to as a “post”.The general ledger may consist of smaller sub-ledgers, or accounts.
