Understanding Cost Object Information Entry in GL Journal Entries

You can use basic journal entries to enter many types of transactions. When you enter a journal entry to a ledger type that is required to balance, the debit and credit amounts must balance.

For each journal entry, you must enter information to identify it in the system, such as the date that the journal entry affects the general ledger.

When you complete a journal entry, the system displays the assigned batch and document numbers. You can use these numbers to locate and review a journal entry. The system assigns batch and document numbers from the Next Numbers function.
