Overview

Creating the Journal Entry is only half the battle; the cycle is not complete until it has been processed. Although you may have spent time entering and saving, until you actually process the entry there will not be any underlying general ledger account activity.

Detail

  • Starting and Ending Journal Entry numbers - (JE#) Enter the range of journal entry numbers that you would like to process, leave blank to process all numbers.

  • Starting and Ending Dates – Enter the starting and ending entry creation date range or select a range of dates from the drop down menu.

The User ID will default in automatically (leave blank to process entries from all users). Choose your Print Detail option: Yes, No or for un-balanced entries only. (so you know what you will need to correct before continuing to process.) Then Press the Process Journal Entries button and A report will appear on the screen. Press the print button to print a hard copy or review the transaction report, Exit the report.

  • Select "OK to process journal entries" if you are ready to process the journal entries.

  • Or select No and entries will not process and you can go back and make necessary changes.


Note: The system will not allow you to process unbalanced entries. A message will display stating that the general ledger is out of balance and the system will not allow processing to continue. After correcting any general ledger entries return to this screen and run the report again. If the general ledger is in balance the system will allow the processing to continue.
