Depending upon what software options you have purchased, your Epicor Eagle™ can automatically pass off the following types of transactions to General Ledger:
Point-of-Sale (POS) and Accounts Receivable (A/R)
Note: If you decide to implement POS and A/R passoff, you can optionally pass off sales by department, and pass off tax information by Tax Code.
Accounts Payable (if you purchased Accounts Payable software)
Payroll
When you use automatic passoff, the system creates transactions in the General Journal Transactions window, where you can then change, print, and post the transactions, just like you do with transactions you manually enter in the General Journal Transactions window.
The benefits to using automatic passoff are:
Time savings. The system creates General Ledger entries and adds them to the General Journal Transactions window for you.
Reduced data entry errors. Because the system adds the general ledger entries for you, there are fewer errors, such as transposing numbers, entering the wrong date, and so on.
Make sure you have added all General Ledger accounts in the Chart of Accounts window. You must add every possible combination of main account and subaccount that you might need (if you'll be using subaccounts to pass off sales and purchases by department).
Make sure the automatic passoff flag been turned on. From the Network Access Main Menu, type MCT and press <Enter>. On the top right, type a Y in the field "Automated Pass-off To General Ledger?," and press <Change>.
Then use the Set Up G/L Passoff window to set up automatic passoff. In this window, you designate all the accounts for which automatic passoff can create transactions.
Make sure you are running the Daily Journal Report (RDJ) with options F and Z in an end-of-day queue.
