GL Entry Batch Update ranges and options

Options

Posting Date
Specify the date to be assigned to each transaction written to the GL Transaction Entry file. The posting date is used to update the date for each transaction if the Date field was left blank when the transaction was originally entered. This date is carried through to the journal post date if you select Yes for the Update option below. This allows you to back post transactions from GL Entry Batch Import Report.
If updating into a previous period, leave the Posting Date as the current date. This helps to keep an audit trail of the posting sequence.
Specify a number between -1 and -7 in the day segment to go back up to 7 days. For example, if you specify **/-7/**, the current date less 7 days is used for the date.
Period
Specify the calendar period to update. If you are on a calendar year or fiscal year, specify the calendar month. Specify the fiscal period if you are on a 13-period fiscal year.
To go back one period, specify -1 in this field. Iif you specify -1**, the period before the current period of the current year is used. For example, if the current period is 0820, 0720 is used for the report.

Select No to print only those transactions that contain errors.
