Correct Answer
GL beginning balance

Explanation
When initializing GCS (General Control System), you enter the beginning balances in the GL (General Ledger) beginning balance. This is the initial amount of money or value that is recorded in the general ledger accounts at the start of a new accounting period. By entering the beginning balances in the GL beginning balance, you ensure that the accounts are properly updated and reflect the correct financial position of the company from the beginning of the period.

This utility allows the user to update the beginning balances from the previous year in order to ensure accurate and up-to-date financial records. By using this utility, the user can transfer the balances from the audit directory to the ongoing directory, ensuring that the financial data is properly maintained and reflected in the current year's records.
