Use the Journal Print program to print out all journal entries for a given fiscal period. These journal entries are those entered through the Journal Entry program or posted automatically from other modules.
Journal entries are printed in journal and then entry order. Included on the journal print is all journal information originally entered plus journal totals.
When journal lines are created or modified, the user code and date modified are automatically captured in Journal Entry and Recurring/Reversing/Allocating entry programs. In Journal Print (GLR720) and Recurring/Reversing/Allocating Print (GLR210), and Yearly Journal Print (GLR780), the user code and date modified can also be printed with the journal entries.
The user code and date are displayed on these programs:
Report information includes: the journal number, entry number, entry date, memo, line numbers containing GL account number and description and amount posted. The total number of entries listed is also included. Should an entry, and consequently a journal total, be out of balance, this entry will be noted.
NOTE: During the first period of the fiscal year, the journal print will be out of balance due to the entry posted to retained earnings when the year was closed.
Templates that store "current period" (or similar values like "system date") resolve to the "current period at the time the report is run" rather than what the "current period" was at the time the template was created. For example: If you save a template for the Journal Print and select "Current Period" for the Period field, when that template is selected to run again (either manually or via Job Stream) the period is determined using the current period in the Company Periods & Ending Dates F/M (GLF970) when the report is run not the period when the template was created.
