Balanced attribute

• Single-sided entries are allowed if the line is not required to balance (that is, the Balanced attribute for the line is N).
• The Balanced attribute for the schedule line is displayed in the Journal Entry Adjustment table. The value Y indicates the line is used to balance a unit's adjustments. The value N indicates the line is not used to balance a unit's adjustments.
• If lines are required to balance, the total debits and total credits for all lines with this attribute must equal. The journal checks double-sided entries using accounting debits and credits. Double-sided entries must balance within a unit, version, period, and year. Additionally, they must balance within each currency in Acquisition journals.
• Journals that include intercompany lines respect the Balanced attribute if:
  • The lines required to balance for each unit are only intercompany lines, and all the lines for any particular unit use the same currency.
  • The lines required to balance for each unit are a combination of standard and intercompany lines, and all the intercompany lines for any particular unit use the local currency of the selected unit.
