Editing Journal Entries
When you edit a journal entry, General Ledger runs several checks and warns you if the journal entry cannot be posted. A journal entry cannot be posted if one or more of the following conditions are true:
The accounting period (determined by the journal date) is not currently open.
Total debits do not equal total credits, and the ledger is defined as a balanced ledger.
Any control totals entered with the journal header do not match the actual totals for the journal (debits, credits, statistical units, number of lines).
One or more journal lines use inactive or invalid ChartFields as of the journal date.
