Recurring Journal Schedule (GL38.2)

Use Recurring Journal Schedule (GL38.2) to view and maintain a journal entry payment schedule defined in Recurring Journal Interface (GL38.1).

When you define a recurring journal entry to split a distribution, the General Ledger system distributes the transaction line amount evenly to each period you select. You can use this form to adjust the scheduled amounts.

For example, if you pay rent or services in advance for one year, you can use the split distribution feature to post part of the prepaid amount from your prepaid rent account to the actual rent expense account for each period.

You can only modify amounts for a period that is Unprocessed and the total amount cannot exceed the Transaction total amount.

For example, you define a journal entry to distribute the transaction line over several periods to record a prepaid expense and split the distribution to record the expense over the proper periods. You can use Split Distribution Report (GL238) to track a specific part of the recurring journal entry that is not expensed and is still part of the prepaid expense account balance.
