Understanding the Journal Edit Register
When the system creates preliminary accounts receivable and general ledger entries, you can review the batch status to determine whether the entries were generated with errors. To verify the information for the general ledger journal before you create the final accounts receivable and general ledger entries, you can review the Journal Edit Register report (R48300). This report shows journal entries summarized by general ledger date, document type, document number, business unit, object, subsidiary, and subledger.
You can also run the Journal Edit Register report to print additional copies of the journal register after you have created preliminary general ledger entries.
When you find errors on the reports, you do not always need to delete the batch and regenerate the invoices. After you identify the errors, you can correct them and run the Journal Generation program (R48131) again. Common errors include:
Incorrect dates or invalid accounts related to the general ledger.
Incorrect major or minor keys or invalid accounts related to the rules that you define in billing AAIs.
Note: When the company number is omitted on the Journal Edit Register report (R48300), the account is not set up in the Account Master table (F0901). When a # sign precedes the account number, the account number is not set up in the model chart of accounts.
