Release Transactions

Form ID: (PM501000)

By using this form, you can release project transactions that are assigned the Balanced status.

When you release project transactions, for each group of project transactions with the same financial period, the system creates a batch of corresponding general ledger transactions. Each batch of general ledger transactions is created as follows:

  • The date of the batch of general ledger transactions is the business date.
  • The post period of the batch of general ledger transactions is the financial period of the group of project transactions.
  • The date of each general ledger transaction is the date of the project transaction that corresponds to it.
  • The post period of each general ledger transaction is the post period of the batch of general ledger transactions.
Tip:
To cause the system to automatically release allocation transactions, select the Automatically Release Allocations check box on the General tab of the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form.
