Setting the Journal Import Run Options

To post account errors to a suspense account:

If you allow suspense posting in your ledger, you can Post Errors to Suspense. With this option, Journal Import creates journal entries with suspense journal lines for account errors in the source data. If you choose not to post errors to suspense, Journal Import rejects any source/group ID combination that contains account errors.

If you define suspense accounts for each journal source and category, Journal Import assigns the appropriate suspense account to unbalanced journal line amounts or journal lines containing account errors. Journal Import assigns suspense accounts based on the journal source and category for the suspense journal line.

If you allow suspense posting, Journal Import creates a suspense line for the following errors:

EF01: This account is disabled for this accounting date.

EF02: Detail posting is not allowed for this account.

EF03: Disabled account.

EF04: These segment values are not a valid account. Check your cross validation rules.

EF05: You provided a code combination ID, but there is no account with this ID.

Additional Information: With regard to errors EF01 and EF03, if you specify an alternate account for an account combination that is disabled or end-dated in the GL Accounts window, Journal Import will use the alternate account to replace the original account combination instead of the suspense account. The suspense account is only used if you choose to post errors to suspense and the alternate account is not specified or invalid (i.e. error EF02, EF04, EF05)
