GL2-02 G/L PROCESSING
28522 Journal Register/Posting

 

PURPOSE

 

The journal register/posting program is used to print journal batch registers and/or post (update) journal batches to the general ledger.

 

The journal register/posting program can be accessed either from the G/L Main menu or from the journal data entry screen. If accessed from the menu, you are prompted to identify the batch(es) to be processed. If accessed from the journal data entry screen, the program automatically processes the same batch.

 

 

PROCEDURE

 

If you access the program from the menu, the following prompts display.

 

POST OR REGISTER ONLY ? ('P'=POST; 'R'=REGISTER):

 

"P" to post (update).

 

This option allows posting the batch(es) after printing the register(s). Only closed batches can be posted. The only exception to this is when the [F7] TO POST option is selected from within an open batch's data entry screen.

 

 

"R" to print the register with no option to post.

 

BATCH SELECTION METHOD ? ('I'=INDIVIDUAL; 'A'=ALL CLOSED):
PRESS F5 FOR BATCH INQUIRY

If you select "I" for individual batch selection the program will display the following prompt.

After selecting the desired batch the following information about the batch displays.
