General Journal Report (GL147)

Run General Journal Report (GL147) to print a report of all your company's posted General Ledger transactions by sequence number. The General Journal Report fulfills the Italian government reporting requirement for the Libro Giornale (daily journal book).

Each transaction is assigned a sequential number by posting date. The sequential numbering is continuous and without gaps through the fiscal year periods. Once the sequence numbers are reported, they can never be changed. The sequence number restarts each fiscal year.

When you run the report, your company tax identification and fiscal code number are included on the report heading on each page. The company tax identification and fiscal code are included via the company user field on Company (GL10.1).

The report will allow the user to run Report Only (N) and Update (Y).

  • The Report Only option will display the transactions in order by fiscal year, period, posting date, journal entry number and transaction line number. The sequence number will display in sequential order in accordance with this sort. This option can be processed for any period status.
  • The Update option can only be processed after the period is closed final. This is an Italian government control feature. The display order will be the same as the non-update order, however the sequential number value will be committed to the database.

Processing Effect

The report uses the GLTRANS file SEQ-TRANS-NBR field (the Transaction Numbering Option field on Company (GL10.1), Journals page, Book tab) to sequence all transactions except memo transactions for each period within a fiscal year.
