Posted on by 130

I have been working on an assignment for class and our instructions were to post transactions. This was our instructions: a. Open the Financial Series

b. Click Account under Cards to open the Account Maintenance window

c. Add the Land, Buildings, and Vehicles accounts:

1) Account 10850 10860 10870

2) New Segment Click No

3) Description Land Vehicles Buildings

4) Alias Leave blank

5) Inactive Leave unchecked

6) Allow Account Entry Make sure the box is checked

7) Category Search for and select NET FIXED ASSETS

8) Posting Type: Balance Sheet

9) Typical Balance: Debit

10) Leave the other boxes blank or accept the default

11) Click Save to return to the Financial Series

d. Click General under Transactions

e. Accept the prenumbered Journal Entry number

f. Batch ID: < leave blank >

g. Transaction Type Standard.

h. Transaction date: See document

i. Source Document: GJ

j. Reference: Enter REH Memorandum

k. Account:  Lookup and select the appropriate accounts and enter the debit and credit amounts

1) Select the correct asset accounts for the common stock, land, building and vehicles from the chart of accounts

2) Be sure to record the land cost according to the last four digits of your Peoplesoft ID.

3) The cash account is 10100

l. Click Post (not Save)

m. Click Financial Statements under Reports

1) Report: Search for and select Balance Sheet

2) Options: Click on Balance Sheet

3) Insert: Click to insert the Balance Sheet into the Print List, then click Modify

4) Amounts: Select Detail

5) Click Print: Check the Screen box for the Destination

6) Click OK

n. Review the report to see if the transactions have been recorded correctly (the other amounts on the balance sheet were already included in the database)

o. Close the report

p. Save the changes

After completing these steps, I am unable to populate and see transactions for Land, Vehicles, common stock, and Buildings. I am not sure why.

    Then I would be checking Batch Recovery Tools>>Routines>>Batch Recovery and see if your batch is in there.  If not, I would be checking your posting setup  Setup>>Posting>>Posting and look and make sure that you have the minimum of Post To:  General Ledger marked for Transaction entry.  You should have that marked for all series, so that as you get further into your assignments, that you are posting everything to the GL.  But considering that this is May 7th I'm assuming that you are trying to complete this assignment all at once and will need this setup asap.

    The fiscal year I used was 2014 starting on January 1st. After positing the debits and credits to the General Ledger, it does not show under fixed assets, the land, vehicles, and buildings separately.

    Yes and yes. I have debited and credited the right account, for example: Debit Land 200,000 and Credit Cash 200,000. After producing a balance sheet report, it does not show the amounts . I listed Land as a NET FIXED ASSET as well.

    Did you exit the screen? You are doing a transaction level post. The transaction will not post until you exit the screen. If you did exit the screen did it create a posting report? If it did not I would go to Tools->Routines->Batch Recovery to see if the batch is there. If it is there, review it for errors and post again.

    Are you asking on how to see the transactions that you have posted ?  Or you have posted the transactions and not being able to see them ?

    One thing I don't see in here is the date you are supposed to be posting to.  But you can take a look by going to the account card that you created and go to summary and see if these all posted.  Are you seeing the correct amounts.  Then when you run your report make sure you are running the report for the right time period that you just put everything into.  (Bottom middle is the Open Year choose the right year)

    BTW, you can run a trial balance to see the balances for each of these as well:  Reports>>Financial>>Trail Balance.  And again, choose the right period and year.  To see if it posted.
