CREATE G/L INTERFACE FILE#
Processing Information#
If an interface file to a general ledger system needs to be created, then this function must be run.Running UPGLF in non-trial mode will commit the journal entries. For Labor G/L, this will mark individual pay lines as ‘Journalized’, for Payroll G/L this will mark the pay header as ‘Journalized’.
When UPGLF is run in ‘Non-Trial’ mode, it will mark all of the pay headers and pay lines that it is picking up as being ‘journalized’.
