As explained in the topic View Posting Buffer, postings to the Nominal Ledger are made via the posting buffer. Thus, updating the Nominal Ledger is actually a two-stage process:
Post accruals writes transactions into the posting buffer.
Print daybooks writes transactions from the buffer to the Nominal Ledger, at the same time updating the buffer to show that this has taken place.
See View Posting Buffer for details on how to search and display the buffer.
Daybooks in the accruals module (as in other accounting modules) can be printed from more than one option. For accruals, the possible options are:
Clicking the Exit button from the Post accruals run. (See System Parameters regarding control of this method.)
Using the Print daybooks option.
Using the Print all AJ daybooks option. (See System maintenance menu).
Using the Nominal Ledger option Print Daybooks. (See Nominal Ledger help topics.)
Using the automatic End-of-Day run, as Print Nominal Ledger daybooks prints Accrual and Asset Register daybooks.
It is most probable that clear disciplines already exist regarding the production of daybooks within your organization, and these should be taken into account when implementing accruals.
Note: The numbering, sequencing and content of daybooks are described in detail in the Nominal Ledger on-line help.
On selecting the option, the self explanatory buttons: Cancel, and OK are displayed. Clicking the former returns you to the main accruals menu, while clicking the latter proceeds with the printing of any outstanding daybooks.
Help: Displays Help in your default company browser.
When printing is complete, you get a further choice of buttons which are Reprint and Exit.
Click the Reprint button if for any reason the first print of the daybooks is unsatisfactory (for example, a 'paper jam' in the printer) or if a further copy is required.
Clicking the Exit button returns you to the main accruals menu.
Note: This option ONLY prints daybooks for accruals posted ON THE TERMINAL ON WHICH THE DAYBOOK PRINT IS REQUESTED. Using the option to Cancel posted accruals also invokes a posting run.
