Setting the General Ledger Distribution Status

The Set GL Distrib Status (general ledger distribution status) process in the Accounting Line Creation job insures that the accounting entries are not passed to the general ledger system until they are complete. The process also updates the status of accounting entries as they are picked up and used by the Journal Generator process. All rows that have a budget check status of V (valid) and an intraunit ChartField balancing status of B, I, or X will have their GL Distrib Status (general ledger distribution) set to N (ready).

GL Distribution Statuses

The transactions can have these statuses in the GL_DISTRIB_STATUS field:

Status	Description
D	Distributed. The entries are posted to the general ledger system. They no longer appear on the Edit Unposted Accounting Lines page.
H	Hold. These lines are not yet ready to be picked up by the Journal Generator.
N	None; not yet processed. The accounting entries are created without error and (if applicable) the budget checking and ChartField balancing complete successfully. The Journal Generator process can now pick up the entries.
