GL38.1 - Recurring Journal Interface



Use Recurring Journal Interface (GL38.1) to process a split distribution
for a journal entry, such as a journal entry for a monthly rent payment,
quarterly
payroll tax, or semiannual real estate tax.
This program creates a schedule of recurring journal entries based on
the original transaction amount, and distributes that amount to periods based
on starting and ending dates.
Choose the Schedule button to view and maintain the schedule information.
You can also view the schedule by using Recurring Journal Entry (GL70.1) and
choosing the Schedule button.
For example, you define a journal entry to distribute the transaction
line over several periods to record a prepaid expense and split the
distribution
to record the expense over the proper periods. You can use Split Distribution
Report (GL238) to track a specific part of the recurring journal entry that
is not expensed and is still part of the prepaid expense account balance.

GL38.2 - Recurring Journal Schedule



Use Recurring Journal Schedule (GL38.2) to view and maintain a journal
entry payment schedule defined in Recurring Journal Interface (GL38.1).
When you define a recurring journal entry to split a distribution, the
General Ledger system distributes the transaction line amount evenly to each
period you select. You can use this form to adjust the scheduled amounts.
For example, if you pay rent or services in advance for one year, you
can use the split distribution feature to post part of the prepaid amount
from your prepaid rent account to the actual rent expense account for each
period.
You can only modify amounts for a period that is Unprocessed and the
total amount cannot exceed the Transaction total amount.
For example, you define a journal entry to distribute the transaction
line over several periods to record a prepaid expense and split the
distribution
to record the expense over the proper periods. You can use Split Distribution
Report (GL238) to track a specific part of the recurring journal entry that
is not expensed and is still part of the prepaid expense account balance.
