Understanding the Create Journal Entries Program

To generate the journal entries to the accounts that are used in the profit recognition process, you must run the Create Journal Entries program (R51444). The system creates journal entries to the appropriate accounts based on the information from the Profit Recognition table (F5144), which you can review using one of the job adjustments programs. When you run the R51444 program, the system:

  • Creates journal entries with a document type JE and batch type G.

  • Updates the Record Requires Regeneration field (G7ZFU1) in table F5144 to N.

    This prevents the system from generating journal entries more than once for the same record.

  • Clears the Version field (VERS) in table F5144.

    This protects the version against changes that could otherwise be made using the job adjustment programs.

After you generate profit recognition journal entries, you must post them to update the F0902 table. If you have generated the journal entries in error, do not delete them.

When you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Homebuilder Management system, the R51444 program reads the accounts that have subledgers and retrieves the option type from the Option Master program (P44H40). The value in the Special Handling field in the option type UDC table (44H4/OT) will indicate which AAI is used to access the correct cost of sales account.
