Posting to Oracle General Ledger
If you use General Ledger with Payables, everything is ready for you to transfer your accounts payable transaction information to the general ledger, and to create unposted journal entries. During the setup of your systems you defined your Accounting Flexfield, set of books, accounting period types, and accounting calendar in General Ledger. You also chose the accounting method you want Payables to use to create unposted journal entries for your invoices and payments. See also: Importing Journals.
Prerequisites
The period is open in Oracle General Ledger. If you use the combined basis accounting method, the period is open in both sets of books in General Ledger.
Optionally define your Payables options for accounting and journal entry audit information. See: Payables Options.
Optionally submit and review the Posting Hold Report to identify and resolve posting holds on invoices.
Optionally submit and review the Expense Distribution Detail Report to review detail invoice distribution information and the total amount of unposted invoices, for accounts, dates, and posting statuses you specify.
To create journal entries for Oracle General Ledger:
1. In the Submit Request window, choose the Request Type, and select Payables Transfer to General Ledger.
3. Choose OK. In the Submit Request window choose Submit.
4. Payables automatically prints the Accounts Payable Journal Entry Audit Report, which shows the total number and amount of journal entries for each batch. If you had exceptions during Posting, Payables also prints the Accounts Payable Journal Entry Exception Report.
If you want to verify that the total invoice amount equals the total invoice distribution amount, submit the Posted Invoice Register.
If you want to review posted payments in a particular period, submit the Posted Payment Register.
If you want to review your outstanding accounts payable liability, submit the Accounts Payable Trial Balance report.
If you want to review online the posted invoice distributions, use the Find Distributions window and query by batch name or other criteria. See: Reviewing Invoice Distributions.
