Run the Create Journals program to create the journal batches from transactions that pass funds reservation in Purchasing and Payables. You set how often you want this program to run. We recommend that you set the Create Journals Program to run at regular intervals.
General Ledger automatically prints the Create Journal Entries Execution Report after the program completes successfully.
Attention: When the Create Journals Program (GLSWPR) is run in summary mode, the drill down from encumbrance journals works correctly when the Create Journals Program (GLSWPR) is run in detail, but not when it is run in summary. When run in summary and multiple PO charge accounts are summarized into one row in the journal, the drill down returns only one of the POs comprising the summarized journal line.
