This chapter contains these topics:

15.1 Posting Vouchers

Navigation

From Accounts Payable (G04), choose Supplier & Voucher Entry

From Supplier & Voucher Entry (G0411), choose Post Vouchers to G/L

After you enter, review, and approve vouchers, post them to the general ledger.

15.1.1 Before You Begin

  • Verify the offset method in the A/P constants. If you use multi-currency, the Offset Method field cannot contain B (Batch).

  • Verify that the batch has an approved status

  • Ensure that all post menu selections are routed to the same job queue and that the job queue only allows one job to process at a time

15.2 Posting Batches of Vouchers

Run only one post program at a time.

To post a batch of vouchers

  1. Select the desired processing options.

  2. Submit the post.

15.2.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Customizing the post program This program performs a number of complex tasks. JD Edwards World strongly recommends that you do not customize it.
Making changes during the posting process Do not change accounts, AAIs for A/P, AAIs for intercompany settlements, A/P, constants, G/A constants, or processing options while the post program is running.
Posting to an alternate currency ledger If you use the XA (alternate currency) ledger, set the post program to automatically update the ledger and produce a separate Posting Journal report.
Deleting paid and posted vouchers You cannot delete a paid or posted voucher. You must void it.

15.3 Verifying Posted Vouchers

After you post your vouchers, verify that the batch vouchers posted successfully. If a batch did not post, you must correct all errors and set the batch status to Approved before the system will post the batch. The system creates a variety of reports that you can use to verify the posting information.

Complete the following tasks:

  • Reviewing the Posting Edit Report

  • Reviewing the Batch Edit Report

  • Reviewing the Posting Journal

  • Reviewing Batches with Balancing Problems Report

15.3.1 Reviewing the Posting Edit Report

After you run the post program, use the Posting Edit Report to verify whether the system posted your batches successfully. The following appear on this report:

  • Batches that posted successfully

  • Documents with errors that prevented a batch from posting

15.3.2 Reviewing the Batch Edit Report

If you enter vouchers with multiple currencies, the system generates a Batch Edit report. This report lists problems with the batch.

15.3.3 Reviewing the Posting Journal

After you run the post program, use the Posting Journal to verify the automatic offsets that the system created. This report lists only those batches that posted successfully.

If you enter vouchers with multiple currencies, this report lists the amounts in both the CA (currency amounts) ledger and converted AA (actual amounts) ledger for foreign currency transactions. The CA amounts represent the foreign side of the entry. The AA amounts represent the domestic side of the entry.

Additionally, this report lists the currency code of the CA ledger amount and the domestic currency of the company for the AA ledger amount. Both the CA and the AA ledgers must be in balance. CA totals might not be currency specific.

15.3.4 Reviewing Batches with Balancing Problems Report

If you enter vouchers with multiple currencies, this report includes AA (actual amounts) and CA (currency amounts) ledger information. Both the CA and AA ledgers must be in balance.

15.3.5 Processing Options
