Use the Entry Dates as Posting Dates for Journal Entries

Use the Project Posting submodule to specify the journal entries' entry dates as their posting dates, except for work-in-progress (WIP) entries.

To use the entry dates as posting dates for journal entries:

  1. On the main toolbar, click Finance & Administration .
  2. In the left pane of the Finance & Administration screen, click General Ledger > Project Posting.
  3. If you have more than one company in your system, use the drop-down list above the left pane to select the company that owns the journal entries whose posting dates need to be changed to their entry dates.
  4. In the top grid, select the appropriate journal type.
  5. In the Include up to this date field, enter a cut-off date.
    In the bottom grid, WorkBook displays the entries for the journal type that were posted up to the cut-off date.
  6. In the bottom grid, click the Edit date icon . The icon name depends on the journal type that you selected in the top grid.
  7. On the toolbar of the bottom grid, click Reset posting date as original date .
  8. In the Reset Posting Date on Expenditures dialog box, use the From post date and To post date fields to specify the posting period that covers the entries whose posting dates you want to change.
