Security

You can use the security options to permit or to prohibit the usage of the journal type in specific circumstances.

  1. Specify this information:
    Prohibit Use in Ledger Entry

    If this option is selected, you cannot enter journals for this journal type using Ledger Entry.

    Prohibit Use in Ledger Import

    If this option is selected, journals for this journal type cannot be entered using Ledger Import.

    Posting Rules

    There is an additional set of options that allow you to override the posting rules for each of the transaction values in use within the business unit. The default posting rules are established in Business Unit Setup. These additional options are only available in Journal Types Posting Override form, as described in Overriding the Posting Rules for a Journal Type.

    Note: Because the posting override options on a journal type are so powerful, they are not available in the basic Journal Types (JNT) form; they are available in a special version of the form called Journal Types Posting Override. In order to use the special version of the form, you must first enable access to it, as described in the Overriding the Posting Rules for a Journal Type topic >> Enabling Access to the Journal Types Posting Override Form. You can use the security facilities in Security Console or User Manager and in Form Permissions Editor (FPE) to ensure that only authorized users can update the posting overrides using the special version of the form.
  2. Save your changes.
