  1. Dial in.  From the Main Menu go to Journal Entry (8.1.1).  The customer should have given you the two journal numbers and the batch number which appeared on the screen when they tried to post their journals.  If they did not then post the journals and see what the message is (8.1.3).


  1. In 8.1.1 enter one of the journal numbers that the customer gave you and hit ENTER.


  1. You will then do an SI at Enter Selection.


  1. Scroll through until you see “Source Error” (Usually you can see them quicker if you hit the UP arrow.” Note: Most likely , you will see the error right through until you get to the last order (not always).  This usually indicates that someone broke out while posting invoices.  The first journal with the source error should be the first order number in the other journal number of the other journal#.


  1. Pull up the other journal number and make sure all the source error order numbers are on that order. Once all this is confirmed go to step 6.


  1. Go to TCL , type in: SHLE REBUILD.POS.JE and enter.


  1. Place the journal number with the “Source Errors” (the one the customer gave you) in here. At this point it will assign a new journal and batch number for all the good orders that were in the journal number that you entered (the one with the source errors),  then do a P to post.


  1. After step 7 is complete , you need to backup the journal with the journal source errors.  In TCL , type : CREATE-FILE JBACK1.10.20.05 1 1  (X <enter> , create a file using today for the date. Then do COPY JOURNAL XXXXXX (D <enter>. (use the source error journal.) (D, means to delete the journal, and the XXXXXX is the journal number.)  It will ask you where you want to copy it to:  To:(JBACK.9.29.00 <enter>. (Make sure you have the parenthesis “(“) The name of the journal can be anything you want, but keeping things uniform is desired; and make sure you enter the date as well.


  1. In the Journal list the old journal will still be in the lookup; you need to remove it . At TCL type: U TABLE  JOURNALLIST <enter>, if you do a control A here it will allow you to search for a journal number. Type in the journal number that you are removing from the lookup. When you find the journal hit ENTER until you come to the number itself and your cursor is blinking on the beginning of the number.  Do a CNTRL-E to delete it and a CNTRL-XF to save and file the item.



*** IF JOURNAL IS EMPTY.  FOLLOW THE BELOW STEPS. ***


  1. Run the Posted Sales Summary Report (2.1.8) for that invoice date and write total items and an invoice number.


  1. Then go into TCL and do a CT POS.INVOICE (invoice #) <enter> see if the journal # is in the invoice.


  1. Then edit the bad journal by doing U JOURNAL (journal #) <enter> and typing a X into attr#1 and the Current Account Period (ex. 01/07) in attr#2 and do CRTL-X F to save.


  1. Now, type in: SHLE REBUILD.POS.JE <enter> and type in bad journal # <enter> and P to post them.
