Journal Posting (GL190)

Run Journal Posting (GL190) to post journal entries. The program posts released journal entries created in the General Ledger system, interfaced from a non-Lawson application, or transferred from other Lawson applications. If you use a ProcessFlow system for approving journal entries, the journal entries that require approval must be approved before you can post them to the general ledger.

Processing Effect

The Journal Posting program:

  • posts released journal entries with a posting date less than or equal to the Through Posting Date you define,
  • creates balancing entries for interzone journal entries,
  • creates auto-balancing entries for recurring journal entries that were created in currencies other than the company base currency and posts them either to the auto-balancing system account (if the company uses the auto-balancing option) or the error suspense account (if the company does not use auto-balancing),
  • updates account balances,
  • changes the journal entries to a posted status, and
  • changes journal entry transaction lines to historical status.
  • updates the Undistributed Retained Earnings account for Income Statement accounts.
  • displays journal posting and ledger journal posting values for auto reversing journal entries.
