Custom Fields and Segments on Period End Journals

You can add custom transaction body fields and transaction line fields to period end journals. The Applies To subtab on the custom field page includes a check box called Period End Journal. You can add a custom transaction field to the standard period end journal transaction form by checking the Period End Journal box. For help, see Creating a Custom Field and Assigning Custom Fields to Specific Record Types.

To include a custom segment with general ledger impact on period end journals, check the Period End Journal box on the Application & Sourcing subtab under Transactions. If the GL Impact box is checked on the custom segment, the Period End Journal box is unavailable under Transaction Lines.

When the custom segment is used on a source transaction, the custom segment label appears in the Classification field group of the period end journal body. The custom segment value shows on period end journals created for a segment when that segment type is selected in the Group by These Segments list in the subsidiary preferences.
