If you use General Ledger with the same database as Purchase Orders, Purchase Orders displays and validates the General Ledger account numbers you enter.
When the programs are used together, batches of Purchase Orders journal entries are created in General Ledger, either during posting or day-end processing, or when you create them using the Create Batch screen.
On the P/O Options screen, you can choose whether to:
- Create a new General Ledger batch each time you process Purchase Orders transactions.
- Add new transactions to an existing batch.
You also have a Finder of General Ledger accounts on your Purchase Orders account fields.
Depending on your settings for optional fields, Purchase Orders can include optional field information with G/L transactions if you use the same optional fields for Purchase Orders transaction details and General Ledger account details.
You can drill down for General Ledger Transaction History to the originating transaction in Purchase Orders.
