Journal Compress

When you run a posting routine in a CloudSuite Industrial module, journal entries are created for the affected transactions in these System journals:

  • AP Dist - Accounts Payable Ledger Distribution
  • AR Dist - Accounts Receivable Ledger Distribution
  • BNK Dist - Banking Distribution
  • CO Distribution - Customer Order Entry Distribution
  • FA Dist - Fixed Assets Ledger Distribution
  • FS Dist - Service Distribution
  • General - General Journal
  • IC Distribution - Inventory Control Distribution
  • Multi-Site - Multi-Site Journal
  • PC Dist - Project Control Distribution
  • PO Distribution - Purchasing Distribution
  • PR Dist - Payroll Ledger Distribution
  • SF Distribution - Shop Floor Control Distribution
  • WC Dist - Work Center Ledger Distribution

In addition, you can manually create entries in user-defined journals.

Using the Journal Compress utility, you can compress journal transactions for each account by date. Compressing a journal reduces the number of transactions in the journal, making a journal more manageable and easier to view on the form.

Before compressing a journal, you must first print this report to verify the entries that will be compressed, and to use as an audit trail.

Caution:  If you compress a journal, all journal control numbers will be eliminated.
