GL Distribution |
Distribute any outstanding work in progress values to the General Ledger module.

The values to distribute are calculated according to the Costing method (Inventory Setup) and the cost basis selected for the receipt of the job (see Job Receipts).

Milestone operations are not set to complete when a job is set to complete. They are only set to complete when using the Labor Posting program to complete the operation. The reason is that a job can be reset to incomplete, but a milestone operation can not.

If you select Yes, then the Job complete date is changed to the Journal transaction date. |

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.
