Posting Requirements

Before an entry can be posted, the system verifies:
  1. Status - Entry must be in Approved status
  2. Period Open - The posting period must be open
  3. Balance - Entry must be balanced (debits = credits)
  4. Accounts Active - All accounts in the entry must be active

​
What Happens on Post

When a journal entry is posted:
  1. Account balances are updated (debits increase debit-normal accounts, credits increase credit-normal accounts)
  2. Status changes to Posted
  3. The entry becomes immutable - it cannot be edited
  4. An audit trail entry is created
