Use the fields and options to configure the Post Sales Order Journal screen.
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using
Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Parameter ID
|
Enter, or click
 to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using
Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

| Posting Option
|
From the drop-down list, select the amounts to post. Valid options are:
- Post Invoices: Select this option to post open invoice amounts for sales order lines.
- Post Amortizations: Select this option to post amortization amounts for sales order invoice lines based on the corresponding amortization schedules already created for the range selected in the
Selection Period group box. Sales order invoice lines that have already been posted or manually closed, as well as invoices that have not been posted, are excluded from the posting process. Posting updates the general ledger with a debit to deferred revenue and a credit to recognized sales revenue for the amortized amounts of the corresponding SO invoice line and
Fiscal Year/Period/Subperiod range. Costpoint uses charge information for the SO invoice line's sales group abbreviation and project.
- Post Component COGS Corrections: Select this option to post the cost of issues that were made after invoicing to the Cost of Sales accounts. This moves the cost of inventory and non-inventory component issues that were made after the SO line was invoiced to the Cost of Sales account, similar to the
Post Invoices option. It applies to line types
INV,
INT and
DRP if
SO Settings/Charge Inventory Issues to Clearing Account is selected. It applies only to line types
INT and
DRP if
SO Settings/Charge Inventory Issues to Clearing Account is not selected, since
INV line types are posted directly to the Cost of Sales account by the Post Inventory Journal process.
