GLS - Prepare FTs for Download

The GLS process creates FT download staging records for all FTs that are ready to be posted to the GL (the FT download staging records are stored on the FT/Process table). Each FT download staging record is marked with a batch control ID and run number.

• The batch control ID is the process responsible for creating the flat file that contains the consolidated journal entry that is interfaced to your general ledger. The batch control ID is defined on Installation Options - Financial. The system comes with a single GL download program (GLDL - Create General Ledger Download Flat File). The GL account numbers are provided by the GL account algorithms that are specified on the distribution codes. Refer to Setting Up Distribution Codes for more information about the GL account algorithm.
• The run number is the batch control ID's current run number.

This process also changes the status of the FT to distributed. You may not change the FT's GL details after this time.
