Enter and review a batch of General Ledger transactions using the older entry screens. The batch can contain disbursements, receipts, adjustments, after-the-fact payroll, and other supported transaction types.
Using this option
- Select Regular Input, or Correction or Addition to previous input when an unposted batch exists. Erase previous input transactions discards the previous input batch; use it only when that batch should be removed.
- Choose Type Of Entry, the Bank Account general ledger number when entering disbursements or receipts, and the Process Ending Date.
- Enter the transaction date, reference number, amount, and payee or description. Assign a General Ledger number and amount to each breakdown. Use More Breakdowns to split a transaction, then Next Transaction to continue.
- Use Review Transactions and Proof Totals to check the batch and correct entries. For payroll entries, gross wages less deductions must agree with the net check.
- At Finish, choose the required posting option: General Ledger, After-The-Fact Payroll, both, automatic processing, or Return to Menu without posting.
Notes
Entering a batch and posting it are separate steps. Returning without posting leaves posting to be completed later; do not enter the same batch again just because it has not appeared in the ledger.
Delete removes the displayed transaction from the input batch. Erasing input is not a way to reverse transactions already posted to the ledger.
