Create G/L Transactions During Posting/Day End Processing or Using the Create Batch Icon
Use the Create G/L Transactions option to specify when to generate general ledger transactions: either when you post transactions or run day-end processing or, at a later time of your choosing, using the Create G/L Batch form.
To create a batch or append to an existing batch or transaction file only when you are ready, use the On Request Using Create Batch Icon option. When you are ready to create general ledger transactions, you then use the Create Batch form. Select this option if you want to be able to consolidate general ledger transaction details and print Purchase Orders' G/L Transactions report.
You must also select On Request Using Create Batch Icon if you want to use the Consolidate G/L Batches option and to print the G/L Transactions report in Purchase Orders. (The G/L Transactions report is a listing of the general ledger transactions created by Purchase Orders that you might need to print as part of your audit trail.)
To create a batch or append to an existing batch or transaction file when you post or run day-end processing, use the During Posting or Day End Processing option. (G/L transactions will be created when you cost inventory items — that is, either during posting, or when you run Day End Processing.)
If you select the During Posting or Day End Processing option for creating the general ledger batch, you cannot print the G/L Transactions report from Purchase Orders. If you need this information for your audit control, print it from Sage ERP Accpac General Ledger. If you do not use General Ledger, you may be able to print it from the general ledger system that you are using.
