Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Overview
- The copy function is very useful if you, for example, happen to enter a General Ledger transaction in the wrong accounting period. You just copy the original journal and enter the duplicate journal in the right accounting period and then eliminate the original journal with a reverse journal.
- You can also eliminate journals to reverse temporary provisions for year-end closing purposes.
- You can only copy and eliminate journals that contain General Ledger transactions.
- The entry text for the postings in the duplicate and reverse journal, shows the voucher number, voucher type and journal number of the original postings.
- All postings in the new journal receive the same voucher number, from the voucher number series.
- The new postings receive the same document number and document type as the original postings.
