Generating Transactions from Account Allocation

Sometimes the imbalance in an account allocation is the result of a missing transaction and you need to post the transaction to balance the allocations.

You can use the Generate Using Ledger Entry command on the Account Allocation View Totals dialog to enter and post the journal. The journal is entered manually using any of the Ledger Entry forms and you can balance and post the allocations using Ledger Entry - Online Allocation.

  1. From the Action menu on the Search Results - Account Allocation form select Generate. This will start a new Ledger Entry session without closing the Account Allocations session.
  2. From the Find Form List select the Ledger Entry form you require, if necessary.
  3. Enter and post the journal and exit the Ledger Entry form. You must enter and post a balanced journal posting the amount of the allocation imbalance to the appropriate debtor, creditor or client account.
  4. Return to the Account Allocations session and select Refresh from the Action menu. This action extracts any new transactions for the account that satisfy the original selection criteria. The transactions appear at the end of the transaction list.
  5. Allocate the appropriate, newly entered transactions to balance the allocation in the normal way.
