Improved open journal tracking
System administrators can now track GL journals that have not been properly closed and notify the operators on the journals. The new sa-jrnlopen event in SA Event Manager Activate Entry informs the specified users when the new SA Open Journal Assignment Report has found an open journal within the specified report criteria.
Additionally, the sa-jrnlopen event is triggered to search for open journals before disconnecting the operator in these scenarios:
- The system administrator selects one or more operators and performs a operation in SA Connection Inquiry
- The system administrator clears operator sessions in SA Administrator Operator Disconnect Report
Batch journals, which are intended to remain open for an extended period of time, are excluded from triggering the sa-jrnlopen event to notify operators. Batch journals are displayed in the new SA Open Journal Assignment Report.
Feature activation
Notification of open journals is controlled by activating the new sa-jrnlopen event in SA Event Manager Activate Entry. Once the event is active, it can be reviewed in SA Event Manager Transaction Inquiry. You should also assign the proper security level in SA Operator Setup to the new SA Open Journal Assignment Report for those operators who should have access.
