Posting a Journal
The posting process commits your transactions to the ledger. The ledger is not impacted by changes that affect General Ledger (G/L) accounts until the transactions are posted.
Before posting, you should print the Journal Transaction Report. This report provides a listing of the transactions associated with the journal you are going to post.
To post a journal transaction to the ledger:
When you select
at the prompt to post the transactions, the journal is posted to the ledger. Each transaction is copied to the ledger, along with its descriptive text. For a reversing journal transaction, the reversing ledger transaction is posted.Journal control numbers are converted to ledger control numbers.
If you chose to delete journal transactions after posting them, the transactions are deleted at this time.
After posting is complete, a message is displayed if the system experienced problems finding every journal transaction or creating the new ledger transactions.
