Editing Journal Entries

When you edit a journal entry, General Ledger runs several checks and warns you if the journal entry cannot be posted. A journal entry cannot be posted if one or more of the following conditions are true:

• The accounting period (determined by the journal date) is not currently open.

• Total debits do not equal total credits, and the ledger is defined as a balanced ledger.

• Any control totals entered with the journal header do not match the actual totals for the journal (debits, credits, statistical units, number of lines).

• One or more journal lines use inactive or invalid ChartFields as of the journal date.
