- Posting Date
- Specify the date to be assigned to each transaction written
to the GL Transaction Entry file. The posting date is used to

This date is carried through to the journal post date if you select Yes for the Update option below. This allows you to back post transactions from
GL Entry Batch Import Report.

the current date. This helps to keep an audit trail of the posting
sequence.

back up to 7 days. For example, if you specify **/-7/**, the
current date less 7 days is used for the date.

calendar year or fiscal year, specify the calendar month. Specify the fiscal period if
you are on a 13-period fiscal year.

this field. Iif you specify -1**, the period before the current

used for the report.
