In this routine you can create a duplicate journal, or eliminate a journal by creating a reverse one. A duplicate journal can, for example, be created if the same kind of postings are made each period, and an elimination journal can, for example, be used to eliminate temporary provisions. Only journals with pure G/L transactions can be duplicated or eliminated (a warning message will be issued when the journal contains other documents such as A/R, A/P or Cash book entries).
The transaction text for the G/L postings in the elimination journal will show the voucher number, voucher type and journal number of the original posting. The document type and number of the created postings will be the same as the original postings.
Note: If you copy or eliminate transactions created in the Company consolidation routine, those transactions will have the same originating company code as the original transaction.
When the G/L postings are updated to the G/L, the following reports will be printed, under the following circumstances:
On this panel you state the selection criteria for the journal you want to duplicate or eliminate.

The system will select the number after last used in the series for all the G/L postings created in the journal. The voucher date for all postings will be the actual date.

G/L journal copy/elimination (FMR07702)
On this panel you maintain and print the information for the new journal. You can create a duplicate journal, or eliminate a journal by creating a reverse one. On this panel you also select a voucher type for the new journal.
- Accounting period
- The system proposes the current period as accounting period for the new journal.
For a duplication journal, all the postings will receive this accounting period.
For an elimination journal, all the postings will receive this accounting period if you select elimination method 1. If method 2 is selected, this period is not used and the G/L postings are reversed in their original accounting periods.
- Elimination
- The default is YES which means that this journal should be an elimination journal, i.e. all transactions will have amounts with reverse signs from the original transactions. Set to NO if this journal should be a duplicate journal, i.e. all transactions will have the same sign as the original transactions.
- Elimination method
- Enter a code to define how the G/L postings created at elimination will receive their accounting period.
Code Description 1 All the G/L postings in the elimination journal are posted in the accounting period stated above. 2 All the G/L postings in the elimination journal are posted in the accounting periods of the original postings.
- Copy
- The default is NO, which means that this journal should be an elimination journal, i.e. all transactions will have amounts with reverse signs from the original transactions. Set to YES if this journal should be a duplicate journal, i.e. all transactions will have the same sign as the original transactions.
- Voucher type
- Enter a valid voucher type for the duplicated or eliminated journal.
