Notes and warnings

Restrictions and limits

  • General Ledger analysis entries cannot be processed for recurring journals, irrespective of whether a General Ledger account used in this program requires General Ledger analysis (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition). The reason is that journal amounts are not entered when posting a recurring journal, so the system is unable to prompt for General Ledger analysis entries.

eSignature considerations

Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering. This enables you to increase control over your system changes.

Access to the following eSignature transactions within this program can be restricted at Operator, Group, Role or Company level. You configure this using the Electronic Signatures program.
