Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Grid Details

  • Date (field ACCDAT)

This date represents the accounting date of the original transaction.
The accounting date makes it possible to determine the posting period of the accounting entries. It is initialized by default to the current date and it can be changed depending on the value of the PIHACCDAT - Accounting date modification parameter (ACH chapter, INV group).
This date is systematically controlled in order to verify that it belongs to an open and existing fiscal year.
If a problem occurs during the control, the user will need to enter a new date, irrespective of the parameter value.

This field specifies the document type used to enter a journal.

  • Document no. (field NUM)

This field indicates the journal number.

  • Debit (field DEBIT)

This field reminds the amount in transaction currency.

  • Ledger debit (field DEBLED)

This field specifies the amount in ledger keeping currency.

  • Credit (field CREDIT)

 

  • Ledger credit (field CDTLED)

 

  • Line description (field DES)

 

 

 

  • Due date (field DUDDAT)

Open item payment due date.

If the MAXPD - Maximum period (companies) activity code is activated, a blocking message is displayed if the last due date is greater than the period specified, depending on the case, at the level of the following parameters or of the Contractual period possibly specified at the BP level.

  • Value (field VALDAT)

 

 

 

  • Ctrl. (field SAC)

 

  • Match letter (field MTC)

 

  • Matching date (field MTCDAT)

 

  • Maximum date (field MTCDATMAX)

 

  • Status (field STA)

 

 

  • Reference (field REF)

 

 

  • Offset (field OFFACC)

 

  • Partner (field CSLCOD)

This field is available depending on the inquiry screen setup selected in the Inquiry screens function GESGTC.

This field is only available if the CSL - Consolidation activity code is active at the folder level.

This is a display-only field that is populated according to the following:

The value can default from the setup of the corresponding Journal entry transaction (GESGDE).

There is no default value for this field when a journal entry is created from an automatic journal entry or manually. However, you can define a default value for this field when you create an automatic journal entry using the Automatic journal variables function (GESGVG).

For example, on a sales invoice, to create a default value for the partner field on duty free and VAT lines, use the syntax [ F: SIH ] BPR. The automatic journal field is then populated with the partner code charged on TTC line of the sales invoice.

The field can also default to the partner for the Extraction for Consolidation (BALCONSO) if the option Free criteria is selected.

Flow code coming from the account if the flow code management has been chosen for the account.

 

Flow initialization: The initialization rule only applies to accounts with Optional or Mandatory flow management selected and only for the first ledger defined in the journal entry transaction whose consolidation management is selected.

When creating or posting a journal entry, the journal entry line flow code defaults as follows:

If a flow code is parameterized on the journal, it defaults to that value.

If there is no flow code on the journal, the flow code defaults to the value defined on the account.

The flow depends of the direction on the journal entry line.

If the direction is Credit, the flow defaults to Flow if Credit

If the direction is Debit, the flow defaults to Flow if debit.

If the amount is 0 for both debit and credit, the flow defaults to Flow if debit

If there is no flow code on the account, the flow code defaults to the flow defined in the CSLFLODEF - Default flow parameter.

If this parameter is not defined, there is no default flow code value.

Note: When the journal entry transaction has several ledgers with consolidation management selected, the flow initialized on the first ledger is propagated to the other consolidated ledgers. If for any reason no flow has been initialized on the first ledger but is mandatory on another ledger, you receive a blocking error message that flow management is mandatory for the current account.

You can only enter a Business partner with one of the following characteristics: Customer, Supplier, or Miscellaneous BP.

The Partner is the partner of original record if an account class is set to Yes, and it is empty if the account class is set to No.

For a profit and loss account (set up in the chart of accounts line 11), there is no partner regardless of the Partner management setup.


Partner initialization: The initialization rule only applies to accounts with Optional or Mandatory Partner management selected and only for the first ledger defined in the journal entry transaction with consolidation management selected.

For control accounts
The Business Partner defined at the journal entry line level setup is the default partner.

If no Business Partner is defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner (CPT chapter, CSL group) parameter value. If this parameter is defined, there is no default partner value.

For General accounts
If the Entry partner check box is selected for the general account defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner for this general account line defaults to the partner defined in the first control line.

If the Entry partner check box is not selected for the general account defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner parameter value. If this parameter is not defined, there is no default partner value.

If no control account line has been found, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner parameter value. If this parameter is not defined, there is no default partner value.

Limit: If the journal entry is posted with several control account lines, the partner defaults from the first control account line. The partner is the same for all the general account lines where the Entry partner check box is selected.

Note: When the journal entry transaction has several ledgers with consolidation management, the partner initialized on the first ledger is propagated to the other consolidated ledgers. If for any reason no partner can been initialized on the first ledger but is mandatory on another ledger, a blocking message appears notifying you that partner management is mandatory.
