Reviewing the Post Detail Error Report

When you set up ledgers, you specify whether a ledger is required to balance. If the General Ledger Post program finds an out-of-balance condition in a ledger type that is required to balance, the program generates the Post Detail Error report. If you determine that an out-of-balance journal entry is in error, correct the error and post the batch again.

In some cases, you might need to post an out-of-balance journal entry. For example:

• A power failure occurred during entry or posting.

• A valid, one-sided journal entry was entered to correct a conversion error that was made during setup.
