Goal

3. Record a Movement: direction in/out, amount, bank/cash, description.
4. Maintain control accounts via API/UI framework as exposed for custom control↔GL mapping.

Steps — Setup

1. Open Subsidiary ledgers setup.
2. Set reconciliation cadence (days), require control account mapping, open-item matching, auto-close zero-balance, and ledger types catalog.
3. Note: several flags are stored preferences; confirm behavior in your tenant before relying on them for controls.
