JE Quick Tip #4- What is the difference between a journal entry and a journal import?
JE Quick Tip #4: Did you know that a journal entry and a journal import have the exact same effect on the general ledger and have the same supporting documentation requirements?
A journal entry is keyed directly into PeopleSoft Finance by the department and is meant to be used when there are few lines to key (example, a correction to a previous journal).
A journal import is submitted as a template by the department and imported by a central team. A journal import is meant to be used when the entry has 10 or more lines.
