Use the Journal Entry program to make and correct journal entries of account transactions for the current or next GL period.
Any journal entries to the current or next fiscal period not entered through this program must post automatically from other modules or from the recurring/reversing entry subsystem.
You cannot end journal entry processing until debits and credits balance. Therefore, out-of-balance entries are not permitted.
Once a journal entry is made, it appears on the next Journal Print or Trial Balance/Detail Ledger printed for that period. If the Allow Journal Correction flag is selected or set to Y in the GL Static Control F/M, then journal entries may be corrected by entering the journal entry number.
To access this program, click General Ledger> Journal Entry> Journal Entry.
Click field descriptions for information on each field.
