Asset GL Integration

You use the Asset GL Integration program to create General Ledger journals for transactions processed in the Assets module.

While the transaction journals are created automatically when you successfully process a transaction, the corresponding General Ledger journal is created and posted according to your selections on the General Ledger tab of the General Ledger Integration program. Refer to Effect of automation level selected.

The AP Invoice GL Integration program can only be accessed if Assets is linked to the General Ledger either in detail or in summary (General Ledger Integration).

If a General Ledger account used in this program requires General Ledger analysis (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition), then the GL Analysis program is displayed when you post the transaction, enabling you to enter the analysis details or to select to enter them later (see General Ledger Integration). General Ledger analysis entries are always distributed in the local currency, irrespective of the currency in which the original transaction is processed.

Field Value Description
Start Processing  

Select this to begin processing according to the Journal options you selected.

[Note]
  • When errors are detected during the creation of the General Ledger journals from the sub-module transaction journals, the journal may or may not be created depending on the type of error.

    Refer to General Ledger Integration Error Handling for additional details.

  • You can use the Asset Distribution Journals program to identify the transaction journals for which ledger journals have not yet been created.

If, for the Assets module, you did not select the option: Create GL journal, but you did select the option: Post GL journal (General Ledger Integration), then once the journals are created they are automatically posted into the General Ledger. You use the GL Journal Report program to generate a report of these journals.

If you did not select the Post GL journal option, then you need to use the GL Journal Entry program to post the journals once they are created.
