Release General Ledger Postings

To start the process of creating the General Ledger Release, select the appropriate File Format, indicate the Last Date to Release and then select Release.  The system will then collect the general ledger transaction information (ARDIST) and create the indicated format of export file.  

 

 

Upon selecting the "Release" button, the system will process the request and then prompt the user for the name of the general ledger release file.  Save the file in a directory that will be accessible by the accounting system which will import the released information, then select "Save".

 

Next the system will present the user with the "Update the Release File?" prompt.  Selecting "Yes" at the "Update the Release File?" will mark the records in the ARDIST as released.  If the response is "No" then the records will not be marked for release and future release will include all records not previously released.  Normal operation would indicate mark these records as released by responding 'Yes".
