Errored Journal Sets

Errors can result in the journal set not being posted and being given a status of Error (Not Posted). The errors must be corrected and the journal saved to post the entries to the General Ledger.

Some of the reason that errors can occur are:

Transaction codes need to be selected to complete the journal set
Journal attempting to post to a locked period
Ledger accounts not set up correctly for the originating transaction - eg classification ledger accounts not set up for the creditor on a purchase order

If the journal override feature is OFF, the System Maintenance Ledger setting SaveErroredSets determines whether journals in error can be saved. The switch must be selected (ON) to allow journals in error to be saved otherwise the source form will not activate.

The System Maintenance, Ledger setting, WarnWhenErroredSets, determines whether a warning message displays when loading journals and errored journal sets exist.

Steps

1.	General Ledger Journal Transactions Journal Sets
2.	Select journal set from search window - set filter to Errored Sets for quick access
3.	Click Test Postings to ascertain the errors
4.	Correct outstanding errors
5.	Save changes to the journal set

The status on the journal is changed to Normal once the set has been corrected and saved.

If the journal is posting to a locked period, change the status of the ledger period to Open in the General Ledger Setup form and save the journal.
