Posting by Location

The general ledger can be posted for the current fiscal period for individual locations as transactions for each location become available.  This feature allows users to post only selected locations in each execution of the General Ledger Post Program (GL200P) and not to process other locations.  At period-end, users can close the books and prepare financial statements, responsibility reports, and analysis reports for those locations with all journals entered and validated for the period, without waiting to close the books for all locations.

To post individual locations, the user displays the General Ledger Post Request Screen (GL200S1A) and selects the entities to be processed.  All entities, specific companies, or specific locations can be selected for processing.  Five posting options are available: final post, demand post, quick post, list, and quick list.  Entities not selected on the request screen are not processed by the General Ledger Post Program.  When the program is run, all locations identified for processing are processed according to the posting options specified.  Therefore, for a single request, some locations may be final posted, some may be demand posted, some may be quick posted, and others may be listed.  The posting option for each entity is specified each time the request screen is displayed.
