Why didn't my journal batch post?

Here are some common reasons for why a journal batch might not post.

  • Account is disabled or not valid as of the accounting date.

  • Period isn't open for the ledger or for its secondary ledger or reporting currency.

  • Journal is imported into future-enterable period and the AutoPost process tries to post in an unopened period.

  • Journal is unbalanced and suspense balancing is turned off or not set up properly.

  • Journal is unbalanced by balancing segment value and intercompany balancing is turned off or not set up properly.

The unposted journals with their error status are displayed on the Requiring Attention tab of the Journals work area and the General Accounting Dashboard. The error status also shows on the Posting Execution report. The Posting Execution report is created automatically when the Posting process completes. Use these sources to help in the error correction process.

Note: The Requiring Attention tab also shows journals with rejected approvals.
