A nonprofit has purchased Accounting Subledger.

To configure Accounting Subledger so that only the appropriate records are created and available for export to finance, you need to set up Stage to State Mapping. This ensures that only donations at a certain stage are included in the ledger entries. Here are the steps:

Access Accounting Subledger Setup:

Navigate to the Accounting Subledger settings in Salesforce.

Configure Stage to State Mapping:

Define the mapping between Opportunity Stages and Accounting Subledger States.

For example, map the "Closed Won" stage to a state that signifies the donation is ready for ledger entry creation.

Update Opportunity Stages:

Ensure that your Opportunity Stages are correctly set up to reflect the different states of your donation process (e.g., "Pledged", "Received").

Create Ledger Entries:

Once an Opportunity reaches the specified stage (e.g., "Closed Won"), a ledger entry is automatically created.

Only these ledger entries are included in the export to finance.

By configuring the Stage to State Mapping, you ensure that only finalized donations (those that reach a specific stage) are included in the ledger entries, making the finance export process more efficient and accurate.
