Journal Compress

When you run a posting routine, journal entries are created for the effected transactions in these system journals:

  • AP Dist: Accounts Payable Ledger Distribution
  • AR Dist: Accounts Receivable Ledger Distribution
  • BNK Dist: Banking Distribution
  • CO Distribution: Sales / Parts Orders Distribution
  • FA Dist: Fixed Assets Ledger 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
  • WC Dist: Work Center Ledger Distribution

You can also 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.

Note:  If you compress a journal, all journal control numbers are eliminated.
