15 Print General Journals

This chapter contains these topics:

Normally, you review the general journal online. However, if you need to perform a detailed analysis, a printed general journal might provide a more workable format. Printed reports are especially helpful when you are resolving out-of-balance conditions.

The General Journal by Batch and the General Journal by Account reports print both posted and unposted transactions. All the general journals print transactions from the Account Ledger table (F0911).

Totaling For Unposted General Journal and General Journal by Batch, totaling at the document level is by ledger type. Totaling at the batch and report levels is by posted and unposted transactions, once for ledger type AA and again as a combined amount for all other ledger types.

The text "AA Total" always prints on these general journals at the document, batch, and report level, even if there is no amount. The text "Total" prints at the batch and report level for all ledger types other than AA only if there is an amount.
Processing time The processing time for these reports is related to the number of Account Ledger records in your system.
