Use the Find Journals window to find journal batches and journal entries. General Ledger displays search results in either the Journal Entry Inquiry or Enter Journals window, depending on how you navigated to the Find Journals window.
Your search results will include information about actual, budget, or encumbrance journal entry batches for a ledger. You can:
Review detailed information about a batch, a journal entry within that batch, and the detail lines within that entry
Drill down from a journal to see the subledger transactions that comprise it
View journal and subledger transaction information as balanced accounting entries (i.e., debits equal to credits) or in the form of T-accounts
Note: Drilling down to subledger transactions is supported for subledgers that use Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA).
Note: To find all Oracle subledgers that integrate with Subledger Accounting, you can query each subledger source in the Subledger Application window from the Subledger Accounting Setup menu.
If you navigate to the Find Journals window via the Journals > Enter navigation path, you can perform additional actions on the batch or journal you query. For example, if you marked a journal batch for reversal, you can query that journal batch, choose the Reverse Batch button in the Batch window, and reverse the batch.
Navigate to the Journal Entry Inquiry window.
The Find Journals window appears.
Note: When you first navigate to the Journal Entry Inquiry window, the Find Journals window appears automatically. After you run the query, you can reopen the Find Journals window by selecting View > Find from the menu.
In the Find Journals window, enter query parameters to find the batch or journal you want to review.
Note: Choose the More button to see additional fields that you can use to refine your query. To hide these extra fields, choose the Less button.
Once you've entered all of your query parameters, choose Find to run the query.
The journal batches or journals that meet your query criteria appear in the Journal Entry Inquiry window.
