General Ledger settings - 'Do not allow manual entry' and 'Interrupt in case of error account' detailed explanations

  • Статья

We have been answering a lot of questions lately about what the setting ‘Do not allow manual entry’ really is and how it reacts in different posting scenarios.

The setting applies only when manually entering the account value using a ledger account type in the general journal. So if you have posting profiles set up that would post to this account that would be allowed.

However, depending on what is set in the General ledger parameters, you may experience different behavior when this account is used. See the below screenshot for the other parameter that will affect the behavior, “Interrupt in case of error account”.

The following table lays out the posting behavior when using “Interrupt in case of error account” and “Do not allow manual entry”.

We hope this helps with setting up your posting and accounting policies and understanding how the settings on the main account and GL parameters affects your daily processes.
