Journal Import

The Oracle General Ledger Journal Import program takes the summary interface information stored in the Oracle General Ledger interface table and automatically creates cost and revenue journal entries for posting in Oracle General Ledger.

Journal Import creates a journal entry batch for each set of books and accounting period of your revenue and cost journal entry records. For each journal entry category in a batch, Journal Import creates a journal entry header. For each header in a journal entry batch, Journal Import creates one or more journal entry lines that correspond to the journal entry records you interfaced from Oracle Projects to Oracle General Ledger.

If you run Journal Import from Oracle General Ledger instead of using one of the Oracle Projects streamline options, you should choose not to summarize costs, since Oracle Projects summarizes your project accounting data when you interface costs and revenue to Oracle General Ledger.

Warning: If you run Journal Import from Oracle General Ledger, you should not post errors to suspense. If you do post errors to suspense, your project accounting details will not reconcile with your general ledger summary amounts.

Once Journal Import validates your import data, it sends the data from the interface table to Oracle General Ledger journal entry tables.

You should not correct Journal Import data from Oracle Projects in Oracle General Ledger; if you do, Oracle Projects may not reconcile with Oracle General Ledger.

Journal Import Execution Report

Each time you run Journal Import, Oracle General Ledger prints the Journal Import Execution Report which allows you to review the status of your import journal entries. You should correct any exceptions and resubmit Journal Import to successfully import rejected journal entries.
