Online journals have the settlement date and subsystem journals do not
Another problem encountered after we went live a week ago, once again not picked up in testing. Our online journals have a settlement date. Our subsystem journal entries do not have a settlement date. Occasionally an accountant has to go into a subsystem journal and change something. Once they touch a line on the journal , that line now has a settlement dt, this causes the JRNL_CF_BAL_TBL to be out of balance and the journal header in error.
We really dont want the settlement dt on our transactions as it is not required to meet our business process. The only workaround I have been able to come up with for the short term is to touch everyline on the journal with a change which causes the line to now have a settlement dt , and then make the change back to the original.
