GL Journal Transaction Entry

GL Journal Transaction Entry is where you enter and post manual journal batches—adjustments, accruals, and reallocations.

Before you start​

  • The batch month’s fiscal period is open.
  • Accounts are active and correctly typed.
  • Journals exist (see Managing GL Journals).

Steps​

  1. Open GL Journal Transaction Entry and start or open a batch.
  2. Choose the journal: General for standard entries, or Accruals for reversible entries.
  3. Enter lines. Use the reference column to tie related debits and credits into one balanced entry.
  4. Enter amounts as positive values and mark each line as debit or credit.
  5. Review the batch for balance and completeness.
  6. Validate (preview reports if needed), then Post.

Notes​

  • Unposted GL journal batches block GL Month End Close for the general ledger.
  • When importing journals, format signed amounts so the import converts correctly (imports often expect negatives for one side—follow your import template).

Tips​

  • Keep attached batch reports on in company parameters for later research.
