The posting records prepared in Daily Close 2 are printed out and posted to the Customer's Accounts in the A/R sub-ledger and to the General Ledger, using Daily Close 3.
Refer to the Daily Close Overview for procedural information and process flow.

Divisional Restricted Views assigned to the operator are respected when Daily Close 3 is run from this option.

The following reports print with details and the summaries:

These Journals are the FINAL audit trail for invoices, and should be stored for accounting and auditing purposes.
The earlier reports printed from Daily Close 1 can be discarded once they have fulfilled their usefulness. The reports that can be discarded include: Invoice Edit Report, Daily Business Report, and Bank Deposit Worksheet.
Automated Posting Option:
If preferred once Daily Close 2: Generate Postings is completed, the Daily Close 3 Posting can be setup to run automatically with the resulting reports emailed to staff as defined in Automatic Reporting.
Automated posting of Post Account Invoices is controlled by ARIF10 and automated posting of the Rental Journal Transactions is controlled by RSRJ10.
Posting of Daily Close 2 can also be automated and is controlled by RSID20.

Note: Restricted views is not respected when Daily Close 3 is posted from automated reporting.


"Print Transactions To File" Option:
If these daily close journals become very large, some firms prefer to write the transactions to an ASCII file, rather than to print them out on paper.
This can be activated in the Company Daily Close Parameters by the Print Transactions to File in Daily Close 3 where the preferred directory can also be defined.
When this option is used the reports do NOT print, instead the transactions can be viewed immediately in the window.
After the information has been accepted the files may be viewed from View A Text File.
Refer to Company Daily Close Parameters for more detailed information on this process and on the file naming convention.

Data Export To XML Option:
The processing to export data to XML can be defined and activated in the Company Daily Close Parameters, so that any G/L transactions including journals and GL checks, any A/P invoices, and any A/R transactions including invoices, credit invoice, and finance charges, that have been posted since the last running of Daily Close 3 as well as any Purchase Orders for EDI suppliers that have been generated since the last Daily Close 3, are exported to an XML file, after the posting of the A/R invoices is completed in Daily Close 3.
A parser can then be used to reformat the XML output, with selected data that can then be converted to new formats.
Utilities in XML Data Export Menu can be used to review, modify, or regenerate the XML export transaction information.
View XML Parser Log tracks the success or error results of the export.

Email Texada Pay Request for Payment on an On Account Invoice:
An EMAIL FOR PAYMENT button is provided on the Invoice Totals and Services and the Sales Order Invoice Totals and Services to generate an emailed request for payment for a current Cash Invoice or a posted On Account invoice.
The email request for payment to pay an On Account invoice is not sent until the invoice is posted through Daily Close 3.

Refer to the process flow and controls explanation provided on the Invoice Totals and Services page.

An error displays on the screen identifying the Trx# on the journal. These can be corrected in Review Rental Journal Transactions.

    Posting Control for Rental Journal
    The post Rental Journal transactions program is designed to be run by one operator at a time.
    If a second operator tries to post the same program, a warning will appear on the screen preventing the second user from proceeding. The conflict in posting is controlled by the Posting Control flag, which is set internally when the first operator initiated the posting process.

    If for some reason, such as improper computer shutdown, the first operator has not exited the posting program properly to release the program, then the Posting Control flag will not be reset automatically to allow the next person to run the posting for that batch. The operator will not be able to proceed until the flag is reset.

    The operator will only be able to reset this Posting Control flag if he has permission to reset the Daily Close 3 - Rental Journal flag as controlled by his Security Role that is defined in Operators.
    Whenever the posting control flag for Rental Journal is reset, a record is written to the Delete Log for the Function RSRJ70.
