Generally, only manual transactions are unposted when they're created since, with few exceptions, system-generated transactions are automatically posted.
Journal entries can only be posted in an open period.
Before a transaction is posted, it may be edited and deleted. Once the transaction is posted, it can no longer be edited or deleted. Instead of deleting a posted transaction, you'll void it. If you need to edit a posted transaction, you must first void it, and then create a new transaction.
Cash-related journal entries are added to the bank register by default when they're posted. They're then included in both the bank account register and bank account reconciliation with the status of Outstanding.
In rare instances, a cash journal entry may not need to be added to its related bank account. In these cases, you can uncheck the Add to Bank Register box. However, a reason must be given in order to create an audit trail for the transaction.
Voiding cash journal entries will automatically remove outstanding records from the bank account register.
Select Transaction Journal from the General Ledger menu, and that window opens. Note: You may wish to use the Posted Status pinned filter to select the unposted transactions.
Select the transaction(s) to post, and click the Post Transaction button. You're asked to confirm the action.
Click Yes.
The transaction(s) are posted, and automatically assigned the next
available transaction number(s). The Result window opens displaying
successes and failures.
Note: if
it appears that there are gaps in the numbering, keep in mind that
a different type of transaction — actual, encumbrance, or budget —
will be using that number.
Click Close to close the Result window.
