Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as an accounts payable payment processing run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.
The
Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.
The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering tab in
that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or no fiscal period or year entered for them.
If you have multiple companies, the
Diary drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes
IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.
You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction, or enter a reversing transaction.
