This function is used to perform a mass validation of a group of journals with a Temporary status. With a single operation, a group of journals can move from Temporary to Final status, and they can no longer be modified.

SEEINFO When an accounting journal is validated, all the ledgers containing this journal are impacted.

When Fixed assets are managed, the journal posting results in the Expenses automatic generation, provided that the required setup is implemented (see the Journal entry documentation for further information). The list of expenses then created is included in the log file generated at the end of the posting process.

French electronic signatures for sales invoices and journal entries

In compliance with French antifraud legal requirements and to ensure data security, electronic signatures are automatically generated when a customer invoice or journal entry is posted or set to Final, respectively. After the electronic signature is generated, further modifications to any of the fields identified below can be easily detected.

You can use the Electronic signature control function (FRADSICTL) to review the current electronic signature and highlight any inconsistencies.

See the “French electronic signature how to guide” on the How-to tab for details on implementing this feature. This document is intended for administrators and consultants who maintain and update Sage X3.

Exceptions

Data from invoices or journal entries posted before activating the electronic signature feature is not added to the DKSDATFRA table and therefore no electronic signature is created.

Legislations other than French do not generate electronic signatures.

The electronic signature is a record in the Electronic signatures table (DKSDATFRA) that includes data from the following fields in the Sales invoice (SINVOICE) and Account entries (GACCENTRY) tables:

Presentation

This processing performs a "mass" validation of the accounting entries. Once they have been validated, it will no longer be possible to modify these journals.

The only data that can still be modified are the title fields (in the header or on the lines), the 1099 processing and payment approval management, the original journal, the reference, the reversal management and the analytical allocation.

SEEWARNING This processing cannot be undone.

The journals are selected according to several criteria specific to the journal, and based on date ranges:

  • Company,
  • Site,
  • Document type,
  • Journal type,
  • Journal,
  • User.

The "Log file" flag can be selected to display a summary of all the generated journals at the end of the processing.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Criteria

  • All companies (field ALLCPY)

If this box is checked, the processing is launched for all the companies (otherwise, they have to be specified).

Enter the company code for which the processing has been started.

SEEWARNING The company code:

  • must necessarily refer to a legal entity,
  • must necessarily be entered if the box "All companies" is not checked.

 
  • All sites (field ALLFCY)

Select this check box to run the process for all sites. Otherwise select a site.

         

Enter the site code for which the processing has been started.

SEEWARNING It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All sites" is not checked.
  • All document types (field ALLTYP)

If this box is checked, all types are taken into account by the operation. Otherwise, the type to be taken into account must be entered.

When a journal type is entered, the processing is only started for the journals for which this type has been used.
Only the journal types for which the simulation category has been checked are submittted here.

SEEWARNING It is mandatory to assign this field if the box "All journal types" is not checked.
  • All journal types (field ALLTYPJOU)

If this box is checked, all journal types are taken into account for the operation.
  • Journal type (field TYPJOU)

Enter the journal type. It must be of the same type as the journal linked to the selected journal type.

SEEWARNING It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All journals" is not checked.

The journal type is used to group journals based on common characteristics mainly linked to the nature of the operations that will be recorded in it:

  • Sales,
  • Purchasing,
  • Cash,
  • Miscellaneous Operations,
  • Analytical MOs,
  • Carry forward entries.

Some processings and controls depend on the journal type:

  • the "carry forward entries" journals can only record journals associated with the "Carry forward entries" period",
  • the "ana. MO" type journals can only record journals assigned to the "analytical" category.
  • a cash account must be attached to each "cash" type journal so that the entries posted in this journal have an automatic counterpart. A cash-type journal is used:
    • in the A/P-A/R accounting module on payment posting,
    • in the automatic journals.

SEEREFERTTO The setup of the cash journals is specified in the Definition of the journals, journal types and accounts on payments documentation.

Six journal types have been allocated to the miscellaneous operations:

  • values 4 and 5 for the General Accounting,
  • values 8, 9 and 10 for the Analytical Accounting,
  • All journals (field ALLJOU)

If the box "All journals" is checked, all types of journals are taken into account for the operation.

Here, indicate the journal code comprised of one to five alphanumeric characters.
Upon creation, the journal is automatically open for all the specified periods.
The journal selected here must be of the same type as the journal linked to the journal type kept in the previous selection criteria.

SEEWARNING It is mandatory to enter this field if the box 'All journals' is not checked.

Select this check box to generate a log file.
