About Consolidating G/L Batches

Use the Consolidate G/L Batches setting on the I/C G/L Integration screen to specify whether to combine transaction details for the same general ledger account into a single detail, or send unconsolidated Inventory Control transaction details to General Ledger.

Consolidation Options

Choose one of the following options:

Note: The posting date for consolidated entries is the last date of the fiscal period.

If either the Consolidate by Account and Fiscal Period or the Consolidate by Account, Fiscal Period, and Source consolidation option is selected and you create batches of G/L transactions using the I/C Create G/L Batch screen, the program consolidates transaction details from all transactions for each general ledger account.

If you create batches of G/L transactions during posting or day end processing, the program can only consolidate the details within transactions. It cannot consolidate the details from different transactions.
