Understanding Posting Manufacturing Journal Entries to the General Ledger
After you enter, review, and approve journal entries, use the General Journal Post program (R09801) to post the journal entries to the general ledger. Posting represents the third step in the three-tier process. Posting the journal entries to the general ledger updates account balances with the amounts from journal entries. After posting, the system provides several reports that you can use to review the posted journal entries.
You can run only one post at a time. You must ensure that all post menu selections are routed to the same job queue and that the job queue allows only one job to be processed at a time.
The General Ledger Post Report program (R09801) posts only batches for which no errors are found in the pre-post process. In general, the program:
Posts transactions to the Account Balances table and marks each transaction and the batch header as posted in the Account Ledger table and the Batch Control Records table (F0011).
Changes the batch status for the Batch Control Records table to D.
Marks each transaction with a status of P (posted).
Performs intercompany settlements for ledger types AA, XA, YA, CA, AZ, and ZA, if requested.
Creates reversing entries, if requested.
