What is the meaning of "Accounted but not posted"?

[dvsprao108]

Hi Friends,

Can any one please explain me that what is the meaning of "Accounted but not Posted"? and in AP where we can find this status or flag from front end?

Thanks in advance,
Prakash

I am explaining truly based on logic,
The terminologies Accounted and Posted carries two different meanings.
Accounted often refers to the accounting of transactions at Subledger level
Posted often refers to posting transactions in General Ledger, we never do accounting of a GL transaction, we only post all accounted transactions.........
So what it tells is, Accounting is the first step, only after accounting posting happens.

Therefore "Accounted but not Posted" means, the transaction is accounted in Sub ledger (be it AP or AR or what ever) and the transaction is not posted in General Ledger.

One can run Transfer to GL program with journal import and posting parameter as YES, so that all these accounted transactions will also become posted transactions.....

please confirm if i have gone wrong anywhere.....

Hi Karthikeyan,

Thanks for the explanation.

And can you please also tell me that where we can see this Accounted but not posted flag?

Thanks,

I am not sure about the possibility of checking the status from front end, however you can check it from AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table where you have a column called POSTED_FLAG. It should have been Y for all accounted transactions....

Hi Karthikeyan...

When i run Transfer to GL, journal entries in GL shows unposted status even posting parameters shows Post.

Can you tell how it is.

Thanking You.

Hi,

You mean, Accounted transactions are transferred from AP to GL with automatic journal import and post in GL, whereas the transactions are not posted in GL, they remain in Unposted status ??

Here are the steps involved while sending data from AP to GL,

1- Accounting Generation
2- Transfer to GL Request (if parameter Submit Journal Import = Yes then step 3 will be skipped) << step two also referred as posting to GL
3- In GL import Journals Request
4- Posting Journals
