On this tab, you select settings that control how and when batches of General Ledger transactions are created from Order Entry transactions.
Specify whether Order Entry consolidates transaction details for the same General Ledger account into a single detail, or whether it posts unconsolidated transaction details to General Ledger.
Consolidation reduces the amount of information in the general ledger batch and results in a shorter list when you print the G/L Transactions Listing report, but also reduces information and prevents drilldown from General Ledger.
For more information, see General Ledger Integration Options.
Specify when to create General Ledger transactions.
Important! The option you select here can prevent you from printing the O/E G/L Transactions report or consolidating Order Entry transactions, and can also have a significant impact on system performance during transaction processing.
During Day End Processing. Depending on when you create subledger transactions in Inventory Control, you can select this option to create General Ledger transactions when you run Day End Processing in Inventory Control.
Note: If you select this option, you cannot print the O/E G/L Transactions, and you cannot consolidate Order Entry transactions that are posted to General Ledger.
On Request Using Create Batch Screen. Select this option if you want to create General Ledger transactions manually using the O/E Create Batch screen.
If you prefer to create General Ledger transactions automatically each time you post Order Entry transactions or each time you run Day End processing in Inventory Control, select During Day End Processing for the Create G/L Transactions option.
Important! You must select this option if you want to print the O/E G/L Transactions Report, or if you want to consolidate transactions in Order Entry.
For more information, see General Ledger Integration Options.
Specify whether to add new General Ledger transactions to an existing batch, to a new batch, or to a new batch that Order Entry posts automatically to General Ledger.
To have all transactions appended to a single General Ledger batch, select the Adding to an Existing Batch option. Order Entry must use the same company as Sage 300 General Ledger.
Note: Remember to create and post all General Ledger batches for outstanding transactions before locking periods for General Ledger.
In General Ledger, a source code comprises a source ledger code and a source type code. This table lists source ledger codes and source type codes for each type of transaction generated by Order Entry.
You can change the source type code for each type of transaction created by Order Entry, but you cannot change the source ledger code.
If you change a source type code, the new source code is automatically added to General Ledger, but you must update General Ledger source journal profiles to include transactions on source journals. For more information, see the General Ledger help.
This column displays source type codes for all General Ledger transactions created by Order Entry.
You can change the source type code for a transaction type. If you change it, the new source code is automatically added to General Ledger, but you must update General Ledger source journal profiles to include transactions on source journals. For more information, see General Ledger help.
On this tab, you can review the information that will appear in transaction description, detail reference, detail description, and detail comment fields in the General Ledger transactions created from Order Entry transactions.
To select and arrange the Order Entry information that will appear in these fields, and to specify a separator (such as a hyphen) that appears between this information, select a detail line and click the Edit icon to open the O/E G/L Integration Details screen.
For more information, see O/E G/L Integration Detail Screen and General Ledger Integration Options.
This field displays the type of information that will appear with unconsolidated details in the Comment column on the O/E G/L Transactions report, on the G/L Journal Entry screen, and on other reports in General Ledger.

Important! The option you select here can prevent you from printing the O/E G/L Transactions report or consolidating Order Entry transactions, and can also have a significant impact on system performance during transaction processing. For more information, see General Ledger Integration Options.
Specify whether to consolidate the G/L batch when you post, or always enter full transaction details in the batch.
Note: Consolidation reduces the amount of information in the general ledger batch and results in a shorter list when you print the G/L Transactions Listing report, but also reduces information and prevents drilldown from General Ledger. For more information, see General Ledger Integration Options.
You can change any of the settings on the O/E G/L Integration screen at any time. However, any changes you make will apply only to General Ledger transactions created after the change, and will not affect existing General Ledger batches.
Important! Before changing any settings on the O/E G/L Integration screen, make sure you understand the impact these settings have on processing within Order Entry. For more information, see General Ledger Integration Options.
