Understanding the Post Process
For time and labor reporting, you must run a program to post the batch of timecard journal entries to the general ledger and to update timecard history. The batch that you post for timecards contains pro forma journal entries. During the posting process, the system creates the actual journal entries in the F0911 table and automatically posts them to the F0902 table. The system also creates timecard history records in the F0618 table.
If you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor system to process timecards without the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system, you must manually run the post program to update timecard history and the general ledger. In the Company Options program (P05001C), the general ledger integration value must be set to T (time accounting).
If you process timecards through the payroll cycle, you can set up the company options for either of these to occur:
Process |
Description |
|---|---|
The system automatically posts actual journal entries during final update. |
You use the manual post program only if an error occurred during final update that prevented the system from posting the journal entries. |
The system does not automatically post actual journal entries. |
After you run the final update, you run the manual post program to post the actual journal entries to the general ledger. The batch might need to be approved before you run the post program. |
If the General Ledger Post Report program (R09801) encounters errors, the system creates the actual journal entries in the F0911 table but does not post them. After you have corrected the actual journal entries, you must resubmit the batch for posting. Because the batch contains actual journal entries, you must post the journal entries directly from the general ledger.
When you run the manual post program, the system updates timecard history and general ledger tables and also generates the General Ledger Post report. If errors occur during the posting process, the system also generates the Post Detail Error report. Review these reports to verify whether the journal entries were posted successfully.
The General Ledger Post report lists all journal entries. The column titles and information are similar to the Payroll Journal Proof/Edit report. However, the General Ledger Post report includes the journal entry number, general ledger date, and account descriptions instead of the document reference numbers.
