You can trace any transaction from source to general ledger entry if you:
- Carefully maintain and identify source documents.
- Print and file each posting journal as it is created.
- Print the G/L Transactions report after running Day End Processing, but before you create the general ledger batch. (This does not apply if your Inventory Control system is set up to create general ledger batches when you run Day End Processing.)
Posting Journals
Each time you run Day End Processing, Inventory Control creates a journal of the entries from the transactions you posted since the last time you ran Day End Processing.
These posting journals provide a record of all posted details and of the general ledger distributions they generated.
