Versions and Modes for G/L Journal Generation

When you run the G/L Journal Generation program (R48132), the system creates preliminary G/L journal entries. If you specify a version of the Create G/L Entries program (R48198) in the processing options of the G/L Journal Generation program, the system also creates final G/L journal entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911). If you leave that processing option blank, the system does not create final journal entries in the F0911 table.

Running the G/L Journal Generation program without specifying a version of the Create G/L Entries program is considered running in proof mode because the system does not create the journal entries in the F0911 table. Similarly, running the G/L Journal Generation program with a version of the Create G/L Entries program specified in the processing options is considered running in final mode.

You run the G/L Journal Generation program in proof mode to review any accounting errors prior to writing the final journal entries to table F0911. You run the Journal Generation program in final mode if you do not need to review the accounting entries.

Note: If the system detects any errors when you run the program in final mode, it sets the batch status to an error status and does not create the final journal entries in the F0911 table.
