Setting the Journal Import Run Options
To post account errors to a suspense account:
- If you allow suspense posting in your set of books, you can Post Errors to Suspense. With this option, Journal Import creates journal entries with suspense journal lines for account errors in the source data. If you choose not to post errors to suspense, Journal Import rejects any source/group ID combination that contains account errors.
If you define suspense accounts for each journal source and category, Journal Import assigns the appropriate suspense account to unbalanced journal line amounts or journal lines containing account errors. Journal Import assigns suspense accounts based on the journal source and category for the suspense journal line.
If you allow suspense posting, Journal Import creates a suspense line for the following errors:
EF01: This account is disabled for this accounting date.
EF02: Detail posting is not allowed for this account.
EF04: These segment values are not a valid account. Check your cross validation rules.
EF05: You provided a code combination ID, but there is no account with this ID.
To create summary import journals:
- Choose to Create Summary Journals to summarize all transactions for the same account, period, and currency into one debit or credit journal line. This makes your reports more manageable in size, but you lose the one-to-one mapping of your detail transactions to the summary journal lines created by Journal Import.
If you create summary journals, you can still maintain a mapping of how Journal Import summarizes your detail transactions from your feeder systems into journal lines. The journal source definition contains a setting to keep import journal references.
Note: If you choose to create summary journals, you cannot import descriptive flexfields.
