Journal Compress

When you run a posting routine in a SyteLine module, journal entries are created for the affected transactions in these System journals:

• AP Dist - Accounts Payable Ledger Distribution
• AR Dist - Accounts Receivable Ledger Distribution
• BNK Dist - Banking Distribution
• CO Distribution - Customer Order Entry Distribution
• FA Dist - Fixed Assets Ledger Distribution
• FS Dist - SyteLine Service Distribution
• General - General Journal
• IC Distribution - Inventory Control Distribution
• Multi-Site - Multi-Site Journal
• PC Dist - Project Control Distribution
• PO Distribution - Purchasing Distribution
• PR Dist - Payroll Ledger Distribution
• SF Distribution - Shop Floor Control Distribution
• WC Dist - Work Center Ledger Distribution

In addition, you can manually create entries in user-defined journals.

Using the Journal Compress utility, you can compress journal transactions for each account by date. Compressing a journal reduces the number of transactions in the journal, making a journal more manageable and easier to view on the form.

Before compressing a journal, you must first print this report to verify the entries that will be compressed, and to use as an audit trail.

CAUTION: If you compress a journal, all journal control numbers will be eliminated.
