General Ledger - Journal ID Codes

 

Function

This task allows for the addition, modification, inquiry and deletion of journal identification codes and their descriptions. A printed copy of the codes can be requested.

 

Journal ID codes are required when making journal entries, and used by the subsidiary accounting applications to make automatic postings to the General Ledger. On the Daily Detail Register, all postings with the same date are grouped by journal ID code. The Transaction History Inquiry and/or Report also summarize all postings for the period using this code.

 

=> To access this task...

Select Journal ID Codes from the Inquiry and Maintenance menu.
