Scanning Journals

After you enter journal data, you can scan the journal to verify that all entries are valid. The scan process enables you to identify errors and make any necessary changes before you post the journal.

Before you begin this procedure, in the Smart View Panel, ensure that you are connected to a Financial Management data source.

  To scan journals:

  1. Create or open a journal.

    See Creating Journals or Opening Journals.

  2. In the Oracle Journals ribbon, click Scan, Scan button in the Oracle Journals ribbon.

    If the journal contains errors, a message window is displayed noting the error. If all of the entries are valid, no message is displayed.

  3. Optional: To scan another journal, repeat step 1 and step 2.

  4. When finished, click Close.
