General Ledger Posting

Most businesses have certain recurring general ledger entries that must be posted periodically. These entries are usually related to depreciation, amortization, and so on. These entries should post to the general ledger batch 8800 series.

 

When you post to a batch 8800 series, the first two digits of the batch number must be 88. The last two digits can be any number from 01 to 99.
