Initially, we will only use journals for error handling (to group together the failed GL transactions); see next paragraph for additional details.
Tips to setup an error journal and prevent errors caused by incomplete GL accounting setup
The quickest way to fix errors appearing in the operational environment (creating orders, shipments etc...) because of an incomplete setup of the GL accounting parameters is to define a error journal for the company: in this way, all the accounting transactions that cannot be posted (for example because there isn't a mapping defined) are moved to the error journal and no error is thrown.
You can create the error journal in this way:
- go to Accounting->General Ledger>Setup->Journals and create a new journal: https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/accounting/control/SetupGlJournals?organizationPartyId=Company
- go to Accounting->General Ledger>Setup->Accounting Preferences and select the journal in the "Error Gl Journal Id": https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/accounting/control/PartyAcctgPreference?organizationPartyId=Company
All the "incomplete" transactions will be visible here: https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/accounting/control/ListUnpostedAcctgTrans?organizationPartyId=Company
