The Journal Entry Edit Report is a valuable aid you can use to verify the accuracy of your data entry. To print the edit report, select Transaction Tasks > Preview Transactions Before Posting from the left navigation pane. This report shows every transaction in the transaction file before you post. For encumbered transactions, an E appears after the debit or credit amount (Fund product only). We highly recommend you check each transaction for correct amounts, account numbers, and dates before you post. It is easier to correct an entry before it is posted.

If you want Denali to prompt you to run the edit report before you post, select the Prompt for edit report check box in Module Preferences (Fund product only).

If you select the Validate budget on edit report check box in Module Preferences, budget information will display on the edit report for affected accounts. This is beneficial because it allows you to monitor how your accounts are performing against budgeted amounts before you post your entries.

You might also want to compare the edit report with transaction reports from the other modules. This is especially important the first time you post, because if integration is not set up correctly in the other installed modules, transactions can post in the other modules, but not be reflected in General Ledger.

If you find an error and you need to correct a journal entry, see Correcting Journal Entry Errors for assistance. If you find you need to clear the entire transaction file or delete all transactions in a batch, be sure to check this report carefully (see Deleting Journal Entries).
