Chapter 43: Resetting the General Ledger Interface File (RGLI)

Purpose: Use Resetting the General Ledger Interface File to clear the General Ledger Interface file and recreate postings based on updated or corrected information.

Note: You cannot run the reset for any period in which you have generated a general ledger download file. The Date posted field indicates that a General Ledger Interface record has been downloaded. See Generating the General Ledger Download File (GGLD).

When to run the reset: Normally, you use this menu option only if the general ledger is out of balance. You can use the General Ledger Control Report to determine if any journal sources are out of balance.

You can also use the reset if you change the setting of a system control value that affects how G/L transactions post.

You should not attempt to run the reset for the current date if there is any ongoing activity that could affect the general ledger, or if the asynchronous jobs are still active.

Description

The last date to include in the reset. You should not attempt to run the reset for the current date if the asynchronous jobs are still active.

Bank

The bank code to use for deriving the G/L account number for the credit posting for A/P disbursements. The system uses the A/P cash general ledger number.

Bank codes are defined in and validated against the Bank file. See Chapter 6: Working with Banks (WBNK).

Division

The division to use for A/P postings. The system uses this division and its associated entity when recreating the general ledger postings for accounts payable purchases and disbursements; however, if there was a Division specified for the warehouse when you received the purchase order related to the A/P activity, the system uses this division instead. See the description of the Division field under Creating and Maintaining Warehouses (WWHS) for more information.

Division codes are defined in and validated against the Division file. See Chapter 3: Working with Divisions (WDIV).

Alphanumeric, 2 positions; required.

Submit to batch

This field controls whether you submit a batch job or run the reset interactively. Valid values are:

Y (default) = Submit a batch job
