Note

An "unposted transaction" is a transaction involving Accounts whose Trial Balances have not yet been updated with the transaction information. Unposted transactions exist in a kind of limbo state. They are posted to the General Ledger (G/L), but not yet to the Trial Balance. This type of transaction occurs when users attempt to post transactions into frozen, closed, or non-existent Accounting Periods. Thawing and/or opening closed Periods is one method for correcting this situation; offsetting G/L journal entries may also be used.

Posted

Select to summarize only posted transactions in the display.

Transactions
