Journal
If debit credit marker calculation is used, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that their data has the correct sign. For example, if all of the amounts are positive, and CalculateDebitCreditMarker is set to "Y", then this will only produce lines with a credit marker. If all of the amounts are positive, and CalculateDebitCreditMarker is set to "R", then this will only produce lines with a debit marker. This could either cause the import to be rejected due to an imbalance or could result in a balancing transaction being written, depending on how the balancing options have been defined.
If amounts on the incoming data are unsigned and new parameter is in use in SSC for determining the sign, then you must check that if Generate Balance is also in use, it is as intended and not unintended.
The Journal component is used to import and export ledger transactions.
For more information see the SSC Journal Component Users Guide.
In Transfer Desk Profile Designer there is no Journal datatype, instead use Ledger.
This difference reflects the way many of our customers understand SunSystems Financials. Customers often refer generally to the process of importing ledger transactions as Ledger Import, even though strictly speaking the correct term is Journal Import, as transactions can only be imported from a journal and not individually.
If you are intending to import transactions using the Connect Portal, use the Journal component. There is no Ledger component.
