Journal History Report

Application Overview

 

The Journal History Report produces a listing of all journal totals.  To maintain journal history totals, the field in G/L Setup must be set to "Y".  Each posting procedure that is performed for any package that interfaces with General Ledger, a journal total will be written to the Journal History file.

 This report will show the totals for each posting that has occurred for the range selected. This information can be used as an audit trail back to all the original posting procedures.  The information on the report includes: Journal - Report -Name, Journal Source, Run Date, Number Of Transactions Posted and the Total Amount Posted. The report also produces a Net Change Summary for the selected print range.
