Defaults

These processing options enable you to specify the general ledger date for revenue journal generation and the description to assign to the journal entry.

1. G/L Date (general ledger date)

Specify the G/L date for revenue journal generation. This date is assigned during revenue journal generation and is used when you post the journals to the general ledger files. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the G/L date of the source transaction. This date is validated against the current fiscal period identified in the company constants.

If you run the R48132 program from the Journal Generation (R48131) program, review how the system selects a G/L date:

  • If you leave the G/L date processing options blank in both the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the source transaction.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing options blank in both the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48131 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48132 program and the Override G/L date processing option is blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the R48132 processing option.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48131 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48132 program and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48132 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48131 program, the system uses the G/L date from the R48131 processing option.

  • If you enter values in both G/L date processing options in the R48132 and R48131 programs, the system uses the G/L date from the R48131 processing option.

If you run the R48132 program separately from the R48131 program, review how the system selects a G/L date:

  • If you leave the G/L date processing options blank in both the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the source transaction.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing options blank in both the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48131 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48132 program and the Override G/L date processing option is blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the R48132 processing option.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48131 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48132 program and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48132 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48131 program and the Override G/L date processing option is blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the source transaction.

  • If you leave the G/L date processing option blank in the R48132 program and enter a value in the G/L date processing option in the R48131 program and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

  • If you enter values in both G/L date processing options in the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option is blank in R48132, the system uses the G/L date from the R48132 processing option.

  • If you enter values in both G/L date processing options in the R48132 and R48131 programs and the Override G/L date processing option in R48132 is set to 1, the system uses the current date as G/L date.

2. Override G/L Date (override general ledger date)

Specify the date that is assigned during revenue journal generation and is used when you are posting the journals to the general ledger files. The system validates this date against the current fiscal period identified in the company constants.

Enter 1 to use the system date as the G/L date for revenue journal generation. If you enter 1, the system overrides the G/L date from the G/L Date processing option.

If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the G/L date from the G/L Date processing option

3. Journal Description

Specify the description to assign to the journal entry. Values are:

1: Use the description from the Billing AAI table description.

2: Use the description associated with the subledger value.

Blank: Use the description from the Account Master table (F0901).
