On a nightly basis, the editing process reviews journals that have been entered on-line, loaded externally, or loaded through an interface. If there are no errors the journal is posted to the General Ledger. The Journal Status Report is used to review the status of journals that have been entered and run through the edit process. Peoplesoft client users may run this report and view the status of journals to which they have access.
Access is determined by the source code of the journal.
The first time you run this process you must select Add to setup your run control ID description. The Journal Status Report - Request panel will appear. The following example shows how to print out a report that will show which lines of a journal are in error so the user can correct the errors. In this example, the user is searching for all journals prepared by a particular person and wants to see only the journal lines in error. The user could also select journals based on source code.
