Default Journal Types

Each AAI table can have a default journal type. For example, LD is the default journal type for the labor distribution table. When the timecard or employee criteria do not match up to any instructions, the system uses the instructions assigned to the default journal type. You can use a default journal type for a specific company and for Company 00000.

This table lists the default journal types and a description of how each is used:

Journal Type	Description
LD and RD	Use in labor, billings, and equipment distribution tables.
SD	Use in labor, billing, and equipment distribution tables to set up suspense accounts.
PR	Use in premium labor tables.
RO	Use in labor billings tables.
AW	Use in accrued wages in accruals and clearing tables.
IC	Use in intercompany settlements in accruals and clearing tables
BF and BT	Use in actual burden tables.
AL and AT	Use in liabilities tables.

You can also use a default journal type to indicate that you are missing instructions from a table.

If you set up a default value with an invalid account number, the system prints a warning on the Journal Proof report.
