General Ledger Posting Report
Purpose
This report prints a journal entry you can use to post the Depreciation This Run figures stored from the most recent depreciation calculation
For this report to be useful, you must have entered a G/L expense account number and a G/L accumulated account number for each asset. If you customized these fields to be used for a different purpose, this report is meaningless.
The General Ledger Posting report includes only those assets whose last depreciation run date (the current through date) matches the date you enter for the posting report.
Tip: Before you run this report, make sure the report will be for the period you need to post. If you post depreciation monthly and calculate depreciation monthly, run the General Ledger Posting report after you calculate your monthly depreciation figures. However, if you are not sure what period was included in the last depreciation run figures, we recommend the following procedure:
1. Calculate depreciation through the month ending before the month for which you want to view the report. For example, to run a General Ledger Posting report for October 2022, calculate depreciation through September 2022.
2. Calculate depreciation for the month you want to view on the report. Continuing the example, you would calculate depreciation through October 2022.
3. Run the General Ledger Posting report using a posting date of October 2022.
