Resolution/Fix/Answer

When defining recurring journal entries in the Recurring Journal Entries window, the entry of an amount is optional.

  • If amounts are entered for the recurring journal entry, PENTA automatically uses those amount during the recurring journal entry distribution process.
  • If amounts are blank for the recurring journal entry, PENTA will prompt the user for the amount(s) during the recurring journal entry distribution process. 
    • PENTA uses the amounts entered to process the recurring journal entry.
    • PENTA bypasses the recurring journal entry during the process if the amounts are still left blank.
