CB Permanent Entries Posting

You use this program to update the Cash Book bank balance with any permanent entries that were created using the Cash Book Permanent Entries Maintenance program.

Toolbar and menu

Field Description
Start Processing Select this to extract and process all the permanent entries created for the selected bank into the period you indicated.
Print Select this to print the information currently displayed in the Report pane.
Save Form Values This option is only enabled in Design mode (Automation Design). Your selections are saved and applied when the program is run in automated mode.

Form values and defaults are applied at operator level. They are not saved at role or group level.

Change Period Select this to use the Change Posting Period program to change the posting period and year to which you want to post the entries.

You can process 'catch up' postings for Cash Book permanent entries.

For example: You added a Cash Book Permanent Entry for the current month but did not post the entry in the current month. You then processed the Cash Book Period End. You can still post the entry into the Previous Month 1 and then also into the current month.

If the Cash Book is integrated to the General Ledger and/or another module, then the period in the General Ledger and the other module must also be open.

[Note]

Permanent entries cannot be posted into period 13, even if your number of accounting periods per year is set to 13 (Company Setup).

See Password considerations in Notes and warnings.

Notes and warnings

GL Analysis considerations

  • If the GL analysis required option is enabled for a ledger account used in this program (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition) then the Capture GL Analysis Entries program is displayed when you post the transaction, so that you can enter the analysis details. For a sub module transaction, the sub module must also be linked to the General Ledger in Detail at company level (General Ledger Integration) or at ledger account code level (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition). GL analysis entries cannot be entered from sub modules if the sub module is linked to the General Ledger in Summary at company level or at ledger account code level.

    Note that the GL analysis required option is ignored for all GL codes which are defined in General Ledger Integration. This applies even when the GL code is manually entered in a posting program. Although GL integration programs may be entered manually, they may also be called automatically by other programs or may be automated, which means that they can never be stopped to allow GL analysis entries to be captured.

    If the GL analysis code used does not exist in the GenAnalysisCat table, then a message to this effect is displayed and the program will not prompt for analysis again. The GL journal will be created but not posted until the GL code, GL analysis code and GL journal are corrected.

    The Ask Me Later function is only available when the option: Force GL Analysis - GL journal posting is enabled for the sub-module (General Ledger Integration).

    General Ledger analysis entries are always distributed in the local currency, regardless of the currency in which the original transaction is processed.

Password considerations

Password access to the following functions in this program may be defined in the Password Definition program. When defined, the password must be entered before you can access the function.

Field Description
