Tracking journal entries creation and posting

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

My external auditors are asking me to provide a listing which identifies the creator and the approver of all journal entries. I know how to retrieve the information regarding who posted the entry from a Smartlist but I don't know where to find the info regarding the creator. Has anyone had the same request and how did you answer it? Thanks!

    RE: Tracking journal entries creation and posting

    Hi,

    Do you have the batch approval required from Setup>Posting>Posting setup?

    If yes,

    LastUser = Who created the entry found in GL20000 (YEAR to date open) and GL30000 (History) in the company database

    aprvluserid= who approved the entry found in gl20000 and gl30k tables in the company database.

    apprvldt= Date entry was approved found in gl20000 and gl30k tables in the company database.

    Here is a sample SQL query you can run( or someone from IT can run) against the company database:

    -- for the current open year

    SELECT apprvldt [approval date],
    aprvluserid [ approver userid],
    LASTUSER [ Last User],
    USWHPSTD [User Who Posted],
    jrnentry
    FROM two.dbo.GL20000 WITH (NOLOCK)
    where JRNENTRY = 1234

    -- for a previous historical year

    SELECT apprvldt [approval date],
    aprvluserid [ approver userid],
    LASTUSER [ Last User],
    USWHPSTD [User Who Posted],
    jrnentry
    FROM two.dbo.GL30000 WITH (NOLOCK)
    where JRNENTRY = 1234

     

    -- Please note this will work for a JRNENTRY = 1234

    -- You may use a different criteria such 

    You may remove the where clause line from code - or use

    PERIODID =4 for April for open year query or

    periodid =4 and hstyear =2010 ( for April 2010)

    You could use this script to build a smartlist using smartlist designer for next year.

    Here is a post detailing steps to build a new smartlist using smartlist designer

    Good luck
