Source File Maintenance

Application Overview

 

The Source File application links the "source" with a corresponding General Ledger transaction.  All such transactions encompassed in the main General Ledger Transaction file originate in a specific Journal or Register such as the General Journal Transaction Register, A/R Sales Register, or A/P Voucher Register. The source code entered here is considered as another filter that provides easy reference to these types of registers and journals. All journal entries made routinely or monthly should be defined here.

 

The source code is only a 10-character field and many times is not descriptive enough, due to length, to document a transaction.  This application allows the entry of two lines of description to further document standard monthly transactions of unique entries.  The description will print on several reports in General Journal Trx Processing and on the Source Cross Reference Report.
