Understanding the Post Process for Journal Entries in a Foreign Currency

After you enter, review, and approve foreign currency journal entries, you post them to the general ledger. The post program selects unposted journal entries from the F0911 table, posts them to the F0902 table, and then updates the transaction in the F0911 table with the posted code P (posted).

The post program performs the tasks described in this table in sequential order, regardless of whether you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Multicurrency Processing. For information specific to posting general ledger transactions in a multicurrency environment, review the information in the Multicurrency Considerations column in the following table:

Task Performed by General Ledger Post	Multicurrency Considerations
Selects data to post.	Selects foreign amounts in the CA (foreign currency) ledger and posts them.
Validates information and performs error processing.	Verifies that intercompany settlements are properly set up for a multicurrency environment, regardless of whether the batch contains journal entries between companies. Also verifies that detailed currency restatement, if used, is properly set up.
Creates automatic entries.	Creates transactions for automatic offsets that are required for intercompany settlements. The system uses the Ledger Type Master File table (F0025) to determine the ledgers that require intercompany settlements.
Updates the posted codes.	None.
Updates the Taxes table (F0018).	None.
Updates the batch status.	None.
Updates fields in the F0911 table.	For multicurrency intercompany adjusting entries, updates the Line Extension Code field with AM in the Account Ledger table (F0911).
Runs programs specified in the processing options.	If specified to do so, runs the Detailed Currency Restatement program (R11411), which updates the XA ledger and, if applicable, the YA and ZA ledgers. You specify the version of the Detailed Currency Restatement program in the processing options.
