# Ledger accounts

**Ledger accounts** allow your organization to map Hardfin's asset tracking to the chart of accounts in your general ledger (GL). This configuration enables automated journal entry generation and seamless integration with your accounting system.

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information on using Hardfin for accounting and integration with third-party accounting systems, see [the accounting section](/run-financial-operations/accounting.md).
{% endhint %}

From the **organization settings** page, you can configure 11 default ledger account mappings:

**Inventory accounts**

* **Inventory.** Main inventory asset account (for acquisition costs)
* **Inventory clearing.** Clearing account between billing and receiving (sometimes called goods received not invoiced (GRNI) or good receipts invoice receipts (GRIR) in other systems)
* **Cost of goods sold.** Expense account for inventory sold
* **Inventory write-off.** Expense account for inventory losses or disposals

**Fixed-asset accounts**

* **Fixed assets.** Main fixed asset account
* **Capitalized deployment costs.** Costs capitalized when assets enter service (for deployment costs)
* **Depreciation expense.** Expense account for depreciation in period
* **Accumulated depreciation.** Contra-asset account for accumulated depreciation against fixed assets
* **Asset disposal clearing.** Clearing account with billing for asset disposals
* **Disposal gain.** Income account for gains on asset sales
* **Disposal loss.** Expense account for losses on asset sales

These mappings are typically configured once during initial setup and used for monthly financial reporting. Changes to ledger accounts are tracked in the organization audit log.

{% hint style="info" %}
Ledger account configuration is designed for finance teams and system administrators. These settings determine how Hardfin generates [journal entries](/run-financial-operations/accounting/journal-entries.md) for your accounting system.
