Posting Through to General Ledger

Posted on by 7,365

I am working with a company on GP 10.0 and I have had some issues with batches not posting through and it is confusing the accountant as to where they are coming from. 

First, we are using Analytical Accounting and this prevents us from posting through with Checks (PMCHK).  They can deal with that.

Intercompany Transactions will show up too, which we understand (ICTRX).

Now I also understand that transaction level posting will never post through.  They have been all told to use batches and it appears that someone is not, because there is the occasional PMTRX batch ID that shows up with 1 transaction in it.

But also it seems that voided transactions (Void Open Transactions) are showing up even though the Posting settings are set to Post Through.  Basically, everything is set to Post Through, but there are still a bunch of transaction types not posting through to the GL.

So, what I did was go into most of the Purchasing Series for Posting Setup and unchecked "Allow Transaction Posting."  My question is, is this going to work? I know it will work for Payables Transaction Entry, and PO Receivings / Enter Match.  But when I am looking at Void Open Transactions, there is no way to put transactions in a batch.  Another I can think of is Voiding Bank Transactions, Cash Receipts.  If I disallow transaction level posting and there is no availability to make a batch, then is it going to fail?  I guess I just don't understand why these transactions don't just post through.

Thanks,

Kevin

    Kevin,

    Here are the Posting rules as explained to me a long time ago in a training session -

    'In Transaction posting, no matter what is marked in Posting Setup, transaction posting will not occur in the GL, it will only Post To, not Through.  Batches, however, will post through if “Post Through” is checked in Posting Setup.  The exception to this rule is Bank Rec, where transaction posting DOES post through to GL.'

    Hope this helps,
