Post to Account
When you define an account in the G/L Accounts form, you specify whether the individual debit and credit details entered for the account are to be posted in detail or consolidated form, or whether users are prohibited from posting to the account.
-
Detail. All the debits and credits posted to an account are kept and can be listed individually on source journals and the G/L Transactions Listing report. You can also select Detail to save optional field information with transactions.
-
Consolidated. If you post consolidated transactions, the optional transaction fields are not saved.
There are two methods of consolidating posted amounts in General Ledger:
-
During the posting process if you select the consolidated posting option for the account.
-
After the transactions have been posted using the Consolidate Posted Transactions form.
-
Prohibited. Users cannot post to an account.
