Field or Control |
Description |
|---|---|
Edit |
Select to edit the journals. |
Post |
Select to automatically post the journals that pass edit and budget checking (commitment control journals). If a journal passes the edit and budget checking process, but needs to be approved, the system does not automatically post the journal when Submit for Approval is selected. |
Re-Edit |
Select to edit valid journals more than once. Edited journals are flagged as either having errors or as valid (edit complete). If you do not select this check box, the system ignores valid journals. |
Re-Edit CC Adjustment Journals |
This check box becomes available when you select the Re-Edit check box. Select the Re-Edit CC Adjustment Journals check box if you want to re-edit valid Commitment Control adjustment journals along with other journals. Leave the check box deselected to prevent the re-edit of these Commitment Control adjustment journals during re-edit processing. |
Recalc Exchange Rates (recalculate exchange rates) |
If your journals are recorded in multiple currencies, click to recalculate based on the most current exchange rate. |
Mark Journal(s) to Post |
Select to mark each valid journal with a posting request status. If PeopleSoft Workflow is activated, this option is not available. |
Budget Check |
Select to run the Commitment Control Budget Processor (FS_BP) process to check the journal against the control budget. |
|
Submit for Approval |
Select to have the system automatically submit journal entries for approval when they pass edit check from the Create/Update Journal Entries - Lines Page. If this check box is selected along with the Edit, Post check boxes, and approval is required, the system does not post the journal. This process triggers approval for the journal. If this check box is selected along with the Edit, Post check boxes, approval is not required for a journal, the journal is posted. If this check box is not selected along with the Edit, Post check boxes, the system posts the journal independent of its approval status. This is to bypass approval for posting. |
Autopilot Run Control |
Select the check box to make the process available to the autopilot. When this check box is selected, the system issues a warning if the process frequency selected is other than Always. The Re-Edit option cannot be selected for an Autopilot run control. |
See Configuring Journal Edit and Post Requests for Autopilot.

You can post entries with invalid ChartFields or unbalanced debit and credit amounts to your Suspense account. You define error-processing options at the business unit, ledger for a unit, and journal source level.
