Posting Journals — Printing

Sage ERP Accpac Inventory Control 6.0

Printing Posting Journals

A posting journal is the printed record of the transactions that were processed together during day-end processing.

You can print six types of posting journals, one for each transaction type you can post in Inventory Control: adjustments, assemblies, receipts, shipments, internal usage, and stock transfers.

For more information on the contents of this report, see Posting Journals Features.–

Before printing

Remember to run Day End Processing if you want to print the most current posting journals.

When to print

You should print posting journals after each day-end processing, then file them with your other audit trail records. You must print copies of the journals to a printer or file before you can clear the data for them in the Clear History form.
