Before Posting

• Print and verify batch listings for the batches you want to post. If necessary, make corrections. (This step is required if you chose the Force Listing Of Batches option on the Posting tab of the G/L Options form.)

• Make sure that:

• The fiscal periods to which you want to post are unlocked for General Ledger in Common Services' Fiscal Calendar.

• The accounts to post to exist in General Ledger and have Active status.

• Entries balance.

• You have printed listings for the batches if you use the Force Listing of Batches option.

• You have set each batch that you want to post Ready to Post on the Batch List form.

• If you are going to post provisionally, make sure you have chosen the Allow Provisional Posting option on the Posting tab of the G/L Options form.

• If you previously posted provisional data, make sure you are ready to delete it — provisionally posted batches are automatically cleared the next time you post.

• Back up your General Ledger data.
