The journal entry detail screen allows you to enter detail transactions for the journal specified on the previous header screen.  The detail screen contains the account/center to be posted to, the debit or credit amount, the statistical quantity, unit of measure, reference fields, and control information carried over from the header.

Journal detail lines may be added, modified, and deleted and new blank lines may be displayed by pressing the roll up key.  A journal must be ended before another journal can be initiated or reviewed.  In review, any lines existing on the journal transaction file are displayed.

After initial entry to this screen, three additional screens can be displayed:  the Comments screen, the Recap screen, and the Base Amounts screen (if in a multiple currency environment).

COMPANY/LOCATION

Display only.  The company/location entered on the header screen; this journal will be posted on the books of this company/location.

JOURNAL

Display only.  The journal number specified on the header screen.

CONTROL TRANS COUNT

Display only.  The total number of transactions that should be entered on this screen.  The control amount was entered on the header screen.  It should equal the Actual Transaction field, which is the number of lines actually entered on this screen.  Any difference indicates a data entry error.

ACTUAL TRANSACTION COUNT

Display only.  The total number of transactions entered on this screen.  It must equal the control transaction count, which was entered on the header screen.  Any difference between the two indicates a data entry error.  If VAT is being calculated for the transaction, then the journal transaction control totals will contain both the entered amount and the VAT amount.  Therefore, the transaction control number will be increased by one for each VAT line that is generated.

PERIOD/YEAR

Display only.  Identifies the fiscal period/year to which this journal will be posted.

CONTROL DEBIT AMOUNT

Display only.  The total of all debit amounts that should be entered on screen.  The control amount was entered on the header screen.  It should equal the Actual Debit field, which represents the total of all debits that were actually entered.  Any difference indicates a data entry error.

ACTUAL DEBIT AMOUNT

Display only.  The total of all debit amounts on this screen.  It should be compared to the Control Debit field, which represents the amount that should have been entered (as specified on the header screen).  Any difference represents a data entry error.  Note that you should also compare this total to the actual credit amount to ensure that the journal balances.

CURRENCY CODE

Display only.  Indicates the currency of the financial amounts for this journal.

ACTUAL CREDIT AMOUNT

Display only.  The system-calculated total of the credit transaction amounts entered on this screen.  You should compare this amount to the actual debit total to ensure that the journal balances.

ROLL

Optional.  Indicates the number of new transaction lines that will be displayed when the Roll Up or Roll Down key is pressed.  Because 4 transactions can be displayed at a time, the default value is 4.  However, any number greater than zero can be entered.

CONTROL QUANTITY

Display only.  The control total of the statistical quantities for this journal, entered on the header.  It should equal the actual quantity field, which is the system-calculated total of all statistical quantities entered on this screen.  Any difference between the numbers indicates a data entry error.

ACTUAL QUANTITY

Display only.  The total of all statistical quantities entered on this screen.  This total is calculated by the system.  It should be compared to the control quantity (which was entered on the header screen) to ensure that all transactions were entered correctly for the journal.

ACCOUNT/CENTER

Required.  The General Ledger account/center to which this transaction will be posted.  Account is always required, center is optional, based upon your chart of accounts.  The account/center must have an active status.  In a multiple currency environment, the account/center must be defined to accept transactions in the currency of this journal.

TRANSACTION AMOUNT

Required.  The debit or credit transaction amount.  A credit is indicated with a minus sign following the amount.

JOURNAL DESCRIPTION

Optional.  Defaults to the description entered on the header screen, unless overridden.

REF 1/REF 2

Optional.  These fields may be used to enter specific information about a journal transaction.  Reference 1 and Reference 2 fields are used as the criteria for project accounting reporting.

SELECT

Optional.  Enter an 'X' in this field if you want to enter comments for this transaction.  After you enter all required information on this screen and press the Enter key, the Journal Comments Detail Maintenance screen (GL060S01) is displayed.

TRANSACTION QUANTITY

Optional.  Enter statistical information to be posted to the account stated in the specified unit of measure.

VAT CODE

Optional.  (This field is not displayed in a non-VAT environment.)  This field identifies the VAT code and the tax percent to be applied to the journal line.  The VAT code must be a normal VAT type.  If entered, this code must exist on Reference File category 114.  If left blank, this code defaults from the  header screen.  The VAT Code and Account/Center combination is validated against Reference File category 113.

UNIT OF MEASURE

Optional.  The unit of measure in which the statistical quantity is expressed.  If this unit of measure is not the same as the unit of measure defined on the statistical account master, a conversion record must be defined on Reference File category 006.

DOCUMENT NUMBER

Optional.  This field is not displayed in a non-VAT environment.  Enter a valid document type and number.  The document type must exist on Reference File category 111.  No validation will be performed on the document number.
