General Ledger > Journal Entries > Copy JE From Existing Batch

AccountMate allows you to copy into a new batch all the journal entry details from other unposted or posted journal entry batches in the General Ledger. If you do not need all the journal entries to be copied to the new batch, copy the batch and amend the journal entry details through the Journal Batch Entry function. This feature provides convenience since there is no need to record the journal entry detail lines manually.

Note: The newly copied batch remains unposted and you need to post the new batch using the Post Batch to GL function.

To copy journal entries from an existing batch, perform the following steps:

1.Access the Copy JE from Existing Batch function from the Journal Entry group under the Transactions tab of the General Ledger module.

An applicable drillable field is available in this function. When you click the drillable field, AccountMate automatically displays the corresponding Maintenance function.

2.In the Copy JE from Existing Batch page, you can select the journal entry batch from which you need to copy journal entries and view the general information for the selected journal entry batch. Refer to the Copy JE from Existing Batch Page section for a more detailed discussion.

3.Review, in the Journal page, the journal entries copied from the select journal entry batch. For a more detailed discussion, refer to the Journal Page section.

4.To save the new batch click the Save button in the Transactions toolbar. AccountMate will display a message that the new batch has been created. Refer to the Complete the Batch section for the detailed steps on saving the copied journal entry batch.
