If a journal has been Posted, it can be located in Journal Inquiry/Print:

  3. Accept

EERP General Ledger Support can assist with locating specific journals. If there is an issue with the posting process of a journal, the user would need to submit a case to the appropriate Support team that oversees the posting process (for example, issues with posting batches to the GL from Payments Journal would need to have a case submitted to Revenue Support).

Additional Information

Users may also use Accounting Entries (Financials > General Ledger Menu > Journal Entry/History > Accounting Entries) to locate General Ledger journals that have been entered but are still in Proof. This program also shows unposted Budget Amendments and Encumbrance journals.

If a user needs to see if a journal was deleted or voided, navigate to Journal Number Control (Financials > General Ledger Menu > Miscellaneous Set Up > Journal Number Control) and select the Unused Journals skittle in the top ribbon.
