Accounts Receivable creates batches of general ledger transactions either when you post the A/R transactions or on demand. Each general ledger transaction includes all the information needed to accurately update receivables data in your general ledger.
Separate batches are automatically created for invoices, receipts, and adjustments. On the A/R G/L Integration screen, you can specify whether to add the transactions to existing batches or create new batches each time you post.
If your General Ledger system is at another location, Accounts Receivable creates all general ledger transactions in a single batch that you can import into General Ledger.
Note: If a fiscal period is locked for General Ledger but not for Accounts Receivable, you can create batches for General Ledger during posting or using the A/R Create G/L Batch screen (depending on Accounts Receivable G/L Integration settings). When you try to post transactions to a locked period in General Ledger, however, the transactions are placed in an error batch. You can avoid this situation if you create and post General Ledger batches for outstanding Accounts Receivable transactions before locking a period for General Ledger.
