Daily Journal Report (RDJ)

Sample Report

About the Daily Journal Report

Use the Daily Journal Report RDJ to:

• Finalize point-of-sale (POS) and backoffice transactions.

• Summarize totals by transaction type and general ledger account number.

• Print unfinalized transactions.

• Print tax totals by tax code.

• Print cash transaction totals.

• Update the tax file (Tax Code Maintenance--MTX).

• Update the salesperson file (Salesperson File Maintenance--MSL).

• Pass the net changes of the report totals to general ledger.

Note: Balance forward transactions (at the end of each month, the system creates them for balance forward accounts) do not print on this report because the system has already finalized the transactions that make up the balance forward transactions.

Run the Daily Journal Report with option F as part of your end-of-day queue every day. This ensures that your tax records and salesperson records are up-to-date.

General ledger users: The system passes off information based on the Passoff Method field in Function MCT (A/R Control File Maintenance), Screen 4.  

If you use Passoff Method R (regular passoff), then Option F will:

1. • Print totals by transaction type for all default general ledger accounts entered in Function MCT, Screen 1.

   • Distribute the net totals to the General Ledger Transaction File. You must still use Report RGGG (General Journal Trx Processing) to post the totals to general ledger.

If you use Passoff Method D (departmental passoff), then Option F will:

1. • Print totals by transaction type and by department for all general ledger accounts entered in Function MCT, Screen 4.

   • Create FS (Financial Summary) records.  You must also use Option Z to pass off information to General Ledger.
