GL70.1 - Recurring Journal

Use GL70.1 (Recurring Journal) to define and release recurring journal
entries. A recurring journal is a journal entry that occurs more than once,
such as a journal entry for a monthly rent payment, quarterly payroll tax, or
semiannual real estate tax. There are two different types of recurring journal
entries. A Normal journal entry lets you manually define the debits and
credits for one company while an Intercompany journal entry lets you create a
journal entry between different companies. The entire journal entry process
consists of defining the journal entry, editing, releasing, posting, and if
necessary, closing the period.

After you release the journal entry, there are several programs available to
verify information is correct before posting. Use GL75.1 (Recurring Journal
Control) to view journal entries, GL90.1 (Transaction Analysis) to view
transaction totals, and GL95.1 (Account Analysis) to view account information.
If you included User Analyses, use SL40.1 (Error Transaction Edit) to display
errors or SL90.1 (Strategic Ledger Transaction Analysis) to view user analysis
totals. Use GL190 (Journal Posting) and SL190 (Strategic Ledger Posting) to
post information.

When you release a journal entry, the journal entry becomes available for
posting to the General Ledger. If you use a Workflow system for approving
journal entries, journal entries that are greater than or equal to the
approval amount defined for the company on the Journals form tab in GL10.1
(Company) are routed to the Workflow system for approval. These journal
entries must be approved before they become available for posting.

Use the Attachment feature do define additional comments or URL to link the
recurring journal entry to a document (for example, Word) or E-mail the file.

Use the Define feature in the Usr Analysis field to open SL40.2 (User Analysis
Entry). Use this form to select the user analysis values you want to include
in the transaction.

Choose the New Entry button to define recurring journal entry header
information.

Choose the Amts Only button to change the journal entry amounts.

Choose the Totals button to display totals for the journal entry. You can use
this subform to determine whether you need to make transaction line
adjustments to eliminate differences between transaction currency and base
currency amounts or between debit amounts and credit amounts.

Choose the Schedule button to open the Recurring Journal Schedule form. Use
this form to display and maintain journal entry split distribution information
defined in GL38.1 (Recurring Journal Interface).

Choose the More button to define additional information for each transaction
line, override information that defaults from the recurring journal entry
header, or calculate the amount based on volume and rate information.

After you release the recurring journal entry
-----------------------------------------------------
Run GL270 (Recurring Journal Edit Listing) to print a detailed listing of each
recurring journal entry for accuracy.

Run GL170 (Recurring Journal Interface) to transfer all recurring journal
entries for posting in the General Ledger system OR use GL75 (Recurring
Journal Control) to transfer specific recurring journal entries.

Run GL190 (Journal Posting) to update and summarize company account balances.


Run GL179 (Recurring Journal Closing) to close the recurring journal system.

each transaction line.
