This option creates the journals to be posted to the General Ledger and is the final step in the General Ledger Interface Process. The interface journals can be created for current or next GL period only. An Error report is generated if any errors exist, showing by the Source: Source, definition number, sequence number and the error message. The program summarises the journal transaction lines as much as possible and creates the link file to complement the final journals. The final journals therefore contain minimum, summarised lines, but a level below that shows the source transaction lines comprising those journals.
The generated journals will be posted during the next GL End of Day process.
