Understanding the Journal Entry Program

The Journal Entry program (P0911) provides unlimited detail lines for you to distribute amounts to various general ledger accounts.

When you enter a journal entry, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting system validates the information in certain fields to ensure that the integrity of your financial data remains intact. When you complete a journal entry, the system displays the assigned batch and document numbers. The system marks the journal entry as unposted and adds it to the F0911 table.

When you review journal entries with thousands of transactions lines, the program loads a page of transactions at a time, which has a minimal impact on processing. You can use the Page Up or Page Down key to scroll through the transaction lines.

When you post a batch of journal entries, the system updates the F0902 table and marks the journal entry as posted in the F0911 table.
