Differences between General Ledger and other application non-base journal entries

There are two ways in which non-base currency journal entries are posted to the General Ledger:

• You can create non-base currency journal entries directly in the General Ledger. You can modify the journal entries until you release them. You must release the journal entries in the General Ledger before you can post them.

• You can specify non-base currency journal entries in other Lawson applications or interface non-Lawson files containing journal entries to the General Ledger. When an application outside the General Ledger interfaces journal entries, it sends the entries to the General Ledger in a Released state, and ready for posting. Each application has specific processes to enter journal entries and interface them to the General Ledger. For more information on interfacing journal entries from other Lawson applications to the General Ledger, see the user guide for the appropriate application. For information on interfacing journal entries from non-Lawson applications, see the General Ledger User Guide and the appropriate interface documentation.
