Overview of Subledger Journal Entry

You can create subledger journal entries by using one of two methods:

• Use the Create Accounting process to process accounting events using accounting rules.

• Create manual subledger journal entries.

Subledger journal entries are always created in a given subledger application context. When the subledger journal entry is complete, the appropriate sequence names and numbers are assigned. If applicable, corresponding secondary ledger and reporting currency journal entries are also created.

Manual journal entries can be entered for primary ledgers or for secondary ledgers. Manual journals for primary ledgers are automatically created only for associated reporting currencies, not secondary ledgers.
