Click this button to create a batch of general ledger transactions through the specified Day End Number.
Create G/L Batch Through Day End Number
Specify the day-end number. General ledger transactions are created for all outstanding day-end numbers up to and including this number.
Overview
Use the I/C Create G/L Batch screen to manually create batches of general ledger transactions from posted receipts, shipments, internal usage transactions, adjustments, and transfers.
Note: The program automatically creates G/L transactions if During Posting is selected for Create G/L Transactions on the Integration tab of the I/C G/L Integration screen. The program creates these G/L transactions either when you post I/C transactions or when you run day-end processing, depending on the selection for Create Subledger Transactions and Audit Information During on the Costing tab of the I/C Options screen.
G/L transaction and batch options
Options on the I/C G/L Integration screen let you:
- Add new transactions to an existing G/L batch or create a new one (and optionally post it directly to General Ledger).
- Consolidate transactions during batch creation.
- Select the information to appear in the Entry Description, Detail Reference, Detail Description, and Detail Comment fields in general ledger transactions.
Locked fiscal periods
If a fiscal period is locked for General Ledger but not for Inventory Control, you can create batches for General Ledger using this window. However, when you try to post transactions to a locked period in General Ledger, the transactions will be placed in an error batch.
You can avoid this situation if you create and post General Ledger batches for outstanding Inventory Control transactions before locking the period for General Ledger.
