Using the Ledger Posting Control Desk

The Ledger Posting Control Desk displays selected transactions awaiting posting to Financials. These transactions were generated from Order Fulfilment using the batch posting method in Ledger Interface. See 'Setting Up the Ledger Interface'.

The transactions that appear on this control desk are those that meet the ledger posting batch extract criteria. See 'Extracting Ledger Interface Transactions'.

The Summarization Breakout set for the Payment Run determines the level at which the relevant Order Fulfilment transactions are summarized to define a single journal line. The valid options are:

No Breakout - the postings are not summarized
Breakout at User Id
Breakout at Transaction Type
Breakout at Transaction Reference/Id
Breakout at Transaction Line Number.

You can choose to post all of these transactions, or only selected transactions, using Action > Review. See 'Selecting Items on a Control Desk' for the steps required to use this form to select transactions for processing.
