Examples of Manually Running the AutoPost Process

Create an AutoPost criteria set and schedule the AutoPost Journals process to run on a regular basis following your scheduled journal imports from your subledgers.

When errors occur that prevent posting of the journal imports, you must correct the errors and manually run the AutoPost process. The following scenarios illustrate the kinds of errors that could occur and how you can resolve these errors.

Scenario

The following table lists the errors that prevented journal batches from posting when the scheduled AutoPost Journals process ran.

Error

Cause

Solution

Unopened accounting period

The journal import was imported into a future period. An error arises when the AutoPost Journals process runs on a schedule because journals can't be posted in a future period.

Open the period.

Invalid or no journals

Journal import fails to import transactions from the general ledger interface table. The AutoPost Journals process runs on schedule but finds no batches to post. The posting process doesn't run and the AutoPost Execution report shows that no batches matched the criteria.

Correct the error that caused the journal import to fail.

Invalid or no journals

No journals were selected based on the posting criteria. Journal batches are available for posting. The posting process doesn't run and the AutoPost Execution report shows that no batches matched the criteria.

Revise the criteria set.

After you correct the errors:

  • Manually run the AutoPost Journals process by selecting the Run AutoPost option from the Tasks panel on the journal pages.

  • Click Generate on the AutoPost criteria set pages.

  • Verify that the process ran successfully by reviewing the AutoPost Execution report.
