The various accounting modules post G/L transactions to GM3.D (GPOST) using G/L
integration accounts found in the Variable File (VM0.D).
Journal entries are verified as being in balance before merging to GM1.D and GM4.D
by printing the G/L Journal Batch Summary Report or G/L Journal Account Summary
Report.
Merge G/L Postings to Master - moves transaction detail from GM3.D to GM4.D and
updates GM1.D balances with transaction activity by accounting month. Financial
statements print using the data in GM1.D. The merge can be done any time--monthly,
weekly, or even daily--whenever you wish to print a current P&L or Balance Sheet.
Dimensions recommends the merge be done monthly.
