The general ledger contains all expenses for your organization for all fiscal
periods.

The general ledger contains these types of expenses:  
* Staged expenses that you [imported from your
  external source](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LezLjAwbE4LmcJ8zUKqaCQ "Financial data resides in the General Ledger Staged Data table."). Imported expenses are saved in the General Ledger Staged Data \[itfm_gl_data_staged\] table.
* Cleansed expenses that the workbench uses during the Data Cleansing stage. Changes to expenses during this stage are saved in the General Ledger Cleansed Data \[itfm_gl_data_cleansed\] table. Each time you add an expense to the General Ledger Staged Data table, a corresponding expense is created in this table.
* Groomed expenses that the workbench uses during the Bucketing stage. Changes to expenses during this stage are saved in the Groomed General Ledger Data \[itfm_gl_data_groomed\] table. This is also used for non-General Ledger expenses to hold the amounts manually entered through the workbench or to enter the amounts directly.
