You use this program to post multiple normal and sub-module journals into General Ledger, according to various selection criteria.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Start Processing |
Select this to post the journals according to the criteria you defined. Journals are selected for posting if:
Journals are posted only if they meet the following conditions:
Journals being maintained by other users at the time you select this option are not posted. |
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. |
Field | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Posting options | |||||
Ledger year | Indicate the financial year for which you want to post
the journals. The financial year in which your company is currently in is displayed by default, but can be changed. The year displayed does not necessarily correspond to the calendar year, as your financial year could span from the middle of one calendar year to the middle of the next calendar year. |
||||
Ledger period selection |
When you define normal journals, you indicate the posting period for the journal (i.e. the financial period into which the journal must be posted). This option enables you to selectively post journals by posting period. |
||||
Period selection | Indicate the posting period(s), within the financial year indicated, for which you want to post the journals. | ||||
Journal number selection | |||||
Journal selection | Indicate the journal numbers to post. | ||||
Journal type selection |
Indicate the types of journals to include in the report. All journal types are selected by default (except sub module journals). You can deselect journals not required, but at least one journal type must be selected. Select Sub module journals to enable the Sub module journal selection section. |
||||
Run in batch mode |
When this is enabled,all transactions posted during the run of the program are rolled back and no journals are posted if an error is encountered or the process is terminated prematurely. This also causes the tables to be locked during the time it takes for all the journals to be posted. When this is deselected, each transaction is individually posted. When an error is encountered or the process is terminated prematurely, journals already posted, during the run of the program, remain posted, and the program does not lock any tables. |
||||
Sub module journal selection | Indicate the sub-module journals you want to post.
The sub-module journals are created by the GL Integration programs in each sub-module. This section is only enabled when you enable the Sub module journals option. The following sub-module journals can be selected for posting:
|
||||
After processing completed |
These options are displayed within programs that can be automated. They enable you to indicate the action you want to perform once processing is complete (see Automation Design). |
This pane displays the results of the processing function you selected once processing is complete (unless you selected the option to close the application from the After processing completed section).
Access to this program can be restricted per operator group (see Security Access).
See Activity considerations in Notes and warnings.
Standard journals are not posted by this program, as they are used as templates to create normal journals (i.e. they must be copied into normal journals for posting).
Normal journals are created using the GL Journal Entry program, while sub-module journals are created in the relevant sub-module providing you have not configured them to be posted automatically (General Ledger Integration).
If the option: Authorization of journals before posting (General Ledger Setup) is enabled, then journals must be authorized before you can post them.
By default, transactions are posted in batch mode which means that if an error is encountered, all transactions are rolled back and no journals are posted. This can be prevented by deselecting the Run in batch mode option, so that journals are posted individually and no roll back occurs when an error is encountered.
Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering. This enables you to increase control over your system changes.
Access to the following eSignature transactions within this program can be restricted at Operator, Group, Role or Company level. You configure this using the eSignature Setup program.
eSignature Transaction | Description |
---|---|
GL Normal journal post |
Controls access to the Post functions in the GL Journal Entry and GL Post Multiple Normal Journals programs. |
Operator access to the following activities within this program can be restricted. You configure this using the Operators program.
Activity | Description |
---|---|
GL Journal post |
Controls the posting of journals using the GL Journal Entry and GL Post Multiple Normal Journals programs. The Post function of the GL Journal Entry program is disabled and the GL Post Multiple Normal Journals program cannot be loaded. This activity is ignored when posting journals using a business object (i.e. using e.net). |
In an SQL environment, the 'in process' journal status flag for AP invoices, AR invoices, AR payments, Inventory journals and WIP labor journals can be reset using the GL Integration Utility program.
