Journal status reference
SLICE maintains journals with set status levels. These status levels have the following meaning:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| In Progress | Journals that have been saved to the database but not processed by the system. In other words, when the user clicks the ‘Save’ button, this status is assigned. With this status, journals can only be amended by the journal’s creator. |
| Failed | Journals that have failed system validation at the point of authorisation. |
| Awaiting Authorisation | The intermediary status of journals which have been submitted but require authorisation by an approver. |
| Un-posted | Relates to forward manual adjustments that have not yet been posted to the sub-ledger [i.e. the Effective Date has not been reached]. |
| All | Relates to all journals within a functional group regardless of individual journal statuses. |
| New | A newly created journals, assigend when the user clicks the ‘New’ button. The journals exist in the GUI client only and are not saved to the database. A journal with this status will be lost when the GUI is closed without saving. |
| Processed | Journals that have been saved to the database and posted to the GL. When the user clicks the ‘Submit’ button (in the case of daily or monthly reversals) OR an approver clicks the ‘Authorise’ button for other journal types. The journals are read-only and cannot be amended. However, these journals can be copied. |
| Rejected | Journals that have been rejected by an approver [i.e. approver clicks the ‘Reject’ button]. |
