Hello,
I will like to know why GP raises journal after posting transactions from Sales transactions entry. If I don't post it what are the implications.
Thank you

Hi Funmilayo,
As Frank said, your GL will be out of balance if you don't post those entries. The whole idea of an integrated accounting system is for you to enter transactions at the subsidiary level and have it automatically update the general ledger. If the system is creating a journal entry that you have to post later, you are either using the Post button on the transaction entry screen or you have your posting setup to post 'to' not 'through' the general ledger.
If anything is happening in the posting cycle of the system that you do not understand, I highly recommend that you sit down with someone who can explain how this whole thing fits together. I think you will be delighted to find out just how much it will do for you automatically. :)
Kind regards,
Leslie
The other thing you could be referring to is cost adjustment journals - if these are inventory items and you use average cost, you can get cost of sales variation journals that will post. Usually these are rounding based.
I assume you're referring to the GL batch or transaction that is created when posting Sales transactions. If you don't post it - your general ledger will not reflect the transaction and not tie to your Accounts Receivable subsidiary ledger.
