Journal Setup

The journal stores information about your agency's transactions, such as fee payments or overpayment refunds. Journal Setup is the tool you use to specify the budget accounts to use for different types of CDR transactions.

For every transaction, Infor Public Sector records a credit (CR) and a debit (DR) to a specific budget account, following the common accounting practice of tracking assets and liabilities separately. These debit and credit amounts are stored as entries in the RESOURCES.JOURNAL table, and can then be exported to your agency's general ledger.

Journal Setup uses a tree to group CDR transaction types into three categories: Fee Transactions, Overpayment Transactions, and Refund Transactions. Each category includes a group of related transaction types. For each transaction type, you use a budget number formula to specify a debit and credit budget account.
