1.00 JOURNALS

The Journal Processing Menu is used for all general journal entries that need processing. It allows you to input journal entries, print journal details, post current journals, enter recurring journal entries, ect. The following options are available:

Journal Entry This is the basic general ledger program where all general journal entries are made. All journals entered are considered "current" until they have been posted. Current journals can also be modified and/or deleted here until they have been posted. Print Journal This option allows you to print individual current journals that have been entered. This gives a detailed listing of the entries that were made for the journal number selected. It may be used to trouble shoot if a large journal is out of balance. (Consider this a print preview before you post a journal.) Post Journal This option is used when you wish to post a current journal to the general ledger. Once posted, a journal cannot be modified and/or deleted. Recurring Journal Entry This option allows you to define a recurring journal entry. This usually is a large repetitive journal. It is used for ease of entry so when the journal needs to be posted it will not need to be manually entered over and over again. Budget Adjustment Entry This option allows you to amend or transfer dollars from line item to another, once you budgeting is complete. This will also create an audit trail that in case you need to determine who made what changes.

NOTE: If the Budget Adjustment Entry option is grayed out, then contact MSI Customer Support to activate this for you.

Rev/Exp Account Comment Entry

If selected this option allows you to enter specific comment against a revenue and/or expense line. These comments may be printed on the Rev/Exp reports if selected.

1.10 JOURNAL ENTRY

WHAT IS JOURNAL ENTRY? This is the program where general journal entries can made. The entries that are to be posted to the general ledger are first entered here and modified as needed. The journals are considered "current" until they have been posted to the general ledger using the Post a Current Journal program. HOW DO I ENTER A JOURNAL? From the General Ledger System Main Menu click Journals > Journal Entry, this will take you to the GL Journal Entry screen (see the example below). As you can see multiple line items can be entered within the same journal. The main requirement is that your funds are in balance, if the funds are not in balance the system will not allow you to post and out-of-balance journal.

The following fields are available. After each field is input, press tab to accept the information and proceed to the next field.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

9

Journal # This field is where the identifying number of the journal is entered. The prefix "GJ-" will automatically be assigned to the beginning of the number. This is used to indicate that the entry is a general journal entry. You cannot use the same journal id twice.

Note: Journal Entries made automatically through other interfaced MSI systems will also have corresponding pre-fixes from the application it was received from. For example, Accounts Payable entries will have the prefix "AP-" as part of the journal number. Payroll entries will have the prefix “PR-” as part of the journal number.

Entry Date Use this field to key in the date of the journal entry. By default the current date is automatically displayed, but can also be changed if needed. Accounting Period Use this field to enter the accounting period the journal should be posted to. By default the program will populate your current accounting period, but that can be changed if needed. Fiscal Year The system will default the fiscal year you are logged into. This field cannot be changed. If you need to post a journal to a different fiscal year, then back out of the Journal Entry program and select “Fiscal Year” from the File menu. Recurring Journal # For journals that are entered frequently, you may define those journals using the “Recurring Journal Entry” feature found in General Ledger off the Journals menu. Once a Recurring Journal is defined, then simply select that journal number via the lookup or type the journal number into the field. When you tab off of this field the system will prompt you with the below question:

If you answer “Yes” to the above question, then you will be given the below screen in which to modify the transaction description before the pre-defined details are populated into the program. If you answer no, then the system will just default the current journal with your pre-defined details.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

10

# The Line number identifies each specific line of detail for the journal entry. Each entry gets its own line number. Project If defined (under the Support Menu option) this field allows you to assign a project id to the journal line item. Account # This is the general ledger account number that will be credited or debited. The description of the account number will default and display from your Chart of Accounts. Transaction Description A description of transaction can be entered in this field to describe the purpose of the entry. Debit If the transaction for the line item has a debit value, the amount of the transaction line item is entered here. Credit If the transaction for the line item has a credit value, the amount of the transaction line item is entered here.

Note: The Debit and Credit fields must be used exclusively for each line item. You cannot have a debit and credit value entered on the same line.

Debit/Credit balance to be entered The remaining balance of debit or credit entries that must be made in order to keep the journal in balance is displayed here.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

11

Note: The total amount of debit and credit entries made must equal each other before a journal can be updated and posted. Additionally, each fund code’s debits and credits must be equal or you will get a warning message that will prevent you from posting the journal. This is to help ensure your general ledger stays in balance.

1.20 PRINT JOURNAL

WHAT IS PRINTING A JOURNAL? This option is used to print individual non-posted journals that have been entered but not yet posted. It allows you to generate a printed copy of the journal for review before posting to the general ledger. The listing contains all the details that were entered for the specified journal. HOW DO I PRINT A JOURNAL? From the General Ledger System Main Menu click Journals > Print Journal, this will take you to the GL Print Journal screen (see the example below):

The following fields are available. After each field is input, press tab to accept the information and proceed to the next field. Journal Number The number of the journal you wish to print. If a valid number is entered, the corresponding data for the remaining fields will be displayed. This can be selected from the “binoculars” or manually keyed in. You could, if needed; change the accounting period for the appropriate posting period. However; if the entry date or fiscal year needs to be modified, you will need to do that via the journal entry screen.

1.30 POST JOURNAL

WHAT IS POSTING A JOURNAL? This option is used to post a current journal to the general ledger. A journal will remain current until it has been posted. The journal should be verified for accuracy before posting. If an incorrect journal is posted, an adjusting entry or a reversal must be made to correct the error. (See the support menu option.) HOW DO I POST A JOURNAL?

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

Fiscal Year This will populate from the entered journal id. Print the Posted Journal?(Y/N) This field allows you to print a copy of the journal once it has been posted. If desired select (Y) for "Yes", if not, select (N) for "No".

1.40 RECURRING JOURNAL ENTRY

WHAT IS A RECURRING JOURNAL? This is an optional program. Journal entries that may be posted on a repetitive basis are entered here. The entries made here can be modified as needed. This “template” can be imported into the General Journal Entry option for posting to the general ledger. HOW DO I ENTER A RECURRING JOURANL? From your General Ledger Toolbar Menu click Journals. Click on Recurring Journal Entry; the following fields are used to enter a recurring. After each field is input press tab to accept the information and proceed to the next field for entry.

Once completed your Recurring Journal is now available to be used during your general journal entry. From the Journal entry screen simply select the Recurring Journal ID and the remainder of the journal will self-populate.

1.50 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ENTRY

WHAT IS BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ENTRY? This option allows modifications to be made to existing budget amounts while tracking the Transfers and/or Amendments that are made.

Previously budget modification could only be made via the Budget Entry screen found under the Support menu. Making changes to the budget using that method does not track the changes; it simply alters the existing budget figures. Now, however, there is the option to either make changes through Budget Entry (without a paper trail) or by using the new Budget Adjustment Entry (to report/track on the changes). HOW DO I ENTER A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT? From the General Ledger System Main Menu click Journals, then select Budget Adjustment Entry.

NOTE: If the option for Budget Adjustment Entry is grayed out, please call MSI Support at 847/362-2803 and request to have the feature activated.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

17

On the Budget Adjustment Entry screen the following fields are used for adjustment creation. After each field is input press tab to accept the information and proceed to the next field for entry. Adjustment number This field is where the identifying number of the adjustment is entered. (Normally just a sequential number to identify how many adjustments/transfers have been created.

NOTE: The Adjustment number field will not save any leading zeros used. For instance, if an Adjustment number of “030523” is entered when the Adjustment is created, the number will appear as “30523” when going back in to view that Adjustment and on all associated reports.

Entry Date The current date is automatically displayed in this field. It is the date to which the entry will be applied and can be changed if needed.

Accounting Period The current accounting period is automatically displayed in this field. It is the period to which the entry will be applied and can be changed if needed.

Fiscal Year The fiscal year currently signed into will automatically appear in this field. It is the year to which the entry will be applied and can be changed if needed. Amendment The Amendment option is automatically selected. Use Amendment as the type of adjustment when this entry is intended to alter the existing budget figures for a GL account number(s). For instance, if GL account number 01-02-0000-4052 has a current budget of $14,000.00 and it has been approved to change that figure to $14,500.00, then Amendment is the type of adjustment to use. Amendments are entered as single sided entries.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

18

Transfer Select Transfer as the type of adjustment when this entry is intended to convert budget dollars from one GL account number to another GL account number. For instance, if GL account number 01-04-0000-4352 has a current budget of $40,000.00 and it has been approved to move a portion of that figure to GL account number 01-02-0000-4165, then Transfer is the type of adjustment to use. Transfers are entered as dual sided entries.

NOTE: The debit and credit entries must balance before a Transfer adjustment can be saved. If the entries do not equal, a warning message stating the Fund(s) out of balance (shown below) will appear when clicking on OK, which will prevent the adjustment from being saved in the system.

NOTE: Since budget adjustments cannot be made between funds, a separate adjustment will need to be entered for each fund affected. If an attempt is made to enter more than one fund into a given Transfer adjustment, the following message will appear:

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

19

The same fields are available whether you are performing an amendment or transfer.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

20

Account # This is the general ledger account number that will have its current budget adjusted. The description of the account number will appear directly beneath it.

Adjustment Description This automatically fills in as either “Budget Adjustment” or “Budget Transfer”, depending on which adjustment type is selected. It can be modified as required. (Decrease) Adjustment From If the line item will decrease the current budget amount, then enter the amount of the difference here. For instance, if an account’s current budget is being decreased from $500 to $300, then enter in the difference of $200.

(Increase) Adjustment To If the line item will increase the current budget amount, then enter the amount of the difference here. For instance, if an account’s current budget is being increased from $500 to $900, then enter in the difference of $400.

NOTE: The (Decrease) Adjustment From and (Increase) Adjustment To fields must be used exclusively for each line item. You cannot have a value for each field entered on the same line.

Items (display only) Displays the total number of line items entered for this adjustment. Debit/Credit balance to be entered (display only) Displays the remaining balance of debit or credit entries that must be entered before the adjustment will be in balance. This only pertains to Transfer type adjustments and does not take Fund balances into account.

1.50a Budget Adjustment Reports

Under Reports, there is a new sub-menu titled Budget Adjustment Reports Menu. When using Budget Adjustments, these reports should be used instead of those typically run under the Revenue and Expense Reports Menu. The reports printed from the Revenue and Expense Reports Menu will not contain any figures made in the Budget Adjustments screen, but will only reflect the pre-adjusted budget amounts. Therefore, the reports in the Budget Adjustment Reports Menu should be used to accurately reflect adjusted budget amounts as they relate to Actual amounts.

When the option is selected, the system will prompt you with the number of the next fiscal year. You may then create the Chart of Accounts for that year or a following year. The system will make a copy of all the account numbers from the current fiscal year and create them in the new fiscal year. When creating the new fiscal chart of accounts it will also clear the balances for your revenue and expense accounts in the new chart, your offset will be the Fund Balance account set up under the fund maintenance option.

6.30 CLOSE FISCAL CHART OF ACCOUNTS

This option is used at the end of each fiscal accounting year to prepare the general ledger for the next fiscal year. This is normally used at the end of each year before processing begins in the next year. Taking this option will ensure the proper balances a brought forward to the new fiscal chart of accounts and the closing entries will be posted and produce a printed report of those entries.

NOTE: Before this option is used to close the fiscal period, you must first recalculate the entire general ledger.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

69

After the general ledger is recalculated and this program selected, the system will prompt you with the number of the current fiscal period. You may close that accounting period or a previous one, if needed. The program will then carry all account balances forward for balance sheet accounts for the next period. It will also clear the revenue and expense accounts so that their balances will be zero at the beginning of the new period. This closing journal will be printed.

6.40 BUDGET ENTRY

This program is used to enter budget amounts for the general ledger numbers in the Chart of Accounts. It can be used at any time when budgeted figures have to be added or maintained. Budget amounts can be entered for any year in which a fiscal Chart of Accounts has been created. Depending on which fiscal year you entered when signing into the General Ledger application, the budget amounts will be made for the account numbers in that year. This program is used most frequently when the budget is being entered for the current fiscal year, after the Chart of Accounts has been created for that year, and when starting a new client on the system.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

70

The following fields are used in this program.

Fiscal Year (defaults) The number of the fiscal year in which you are currently signed on to is displayed in this field. All budget entries or changes will be made to the account numbers under this year.

NOTE: If budget entries are to be made for a different year, you must exit the system and enter the number of the appropriate year on the sign-on screen.

Account # The number of the account in which you wish to maintain the budgeted amount is entered in this field. Budget Total This field indicates what the total budgeted amount is for this account for all fiscal periods. If this total is to be distributed evenly throughout all (12) periods, the total may be entered in this field. When you press [RTN], the system will automatically calculate the amount for each period. If you wish to enter a different amount in each field, leave the total field blank and press [RTN]. The system will then allow you to enter an amount in each period individually. This field will then display the total of all fields as you enter them. Month (defaults) The name of each month will appear consecutively in this column next to the fields where the budget amounts are maintained. Notice that the system automatically places the first month of your fiscal year in the first position. After entering budget data in field 01 or detailed entries in fields 2 through 13, a return will automatically bring up a (U)date. Another return brings the next account number forward. This allows you to enter your budget without having to manually enter each account number.

6.50 DELETE POSTED HISTORY

This program is used to delete an entire fiscal year. It will purge the general ledger history (including all posted and un-posted journals, all account activity, and the full chart of accounts) for an entire fiscal year from the system. When the option is selected, the system will prompt you for the number of the year you wish to delete.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

71

NOTE: Be sure that you have back-up copies of the data before this program deletes it. If no copies are made and you have to retrieve the data in the future, it will not be available.

Also, if you wish to have a printed copy of this data, you may run a General Ledger Activity Report for the desired year before this program is used.

6.60 REBUILD GENERAL LEDGER DATABASE

This option will decrease the amount of disk space that is occupied by the MSI-General Ledger data on the server computer’s hard drive. This option is normally taken after the option to “Delete Posted History is performed.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

72

6.70 UNBALANCED JOURNALS

This program offers two options.

Unbalanced Journal Report This option will run through your General Ledger to determine if there are out of balance journals, it will then print a report to let you know if it has identified any. (Normally this report should be blank) Auditor Requested Entry This option allows you to enter a one-sided journal entry per the request of your auditor. It is not recommended you use this for any other purpose.

6.80 FILE IMPORT/EXPORT

This program is used to upload cash receipts from third party software applications. Please see Appendix A for detail specifications regarding this program.

NOTE: These codes can be used within multiple modules.

6.92 Maintain Project Data

This program allows changes to be made to Project Codes associated with invoice line items once those invoices have been paid (prior to being paid the Project Codes can be maintained in invoice entry). In the below example, there are five different line items that have been entered and associated with the Caboose Park Project. If one of those lines was entered by mistake and should’ve been tied to an alternate Project, this program will allow that change to be made.

APPENDIX A – Cash Receipts System Upload

To upload cash receipts from a 3rd party application into the MSI-General Ledger System, complete the following steps:

Enter the following information:

Batch # This will be the Cash Receipts journal number in the MSI-GL System. In the example above, journal CR-R120500 will be created. It is helpful, although not required, to begin the Batch # with a specific character to help differentiate which batches were created via the Cash Receipts Upload Vs those that were entered manually via Cash Receipts Entry. The “R” above designates that this journal was created via a recreation software system.

Enter Date (MMDDYY) This will be the entry date used on the Cash Receipts journal. This option will compare the date entered to the PARKSGL-ENTRY-DATE field in the PARKSGL.DAT. If they match, the item will be included in the journal.

Accounting Period This is the General Ledger fiscal accounting period that will be used on the Cash Receipts journal.

Fiscal Year This is the general ledger fiscal year that will be used on the Cash Receipts journal.

Harris Local Government MSI-General Ledger User’s Guide

89

Upon entering “C” to continue, the system will display a processing screen. While processing this program will read the PARKSGL.DAT file and for each record with a matching entry date, write a record onto the cash receipts journal. It will then print a CASH RECEIPTS UPLOAD DISTRIBUTION report. The report will state which journal was created, the # of line items and the batch total. These figures should be compared to an edit report from the host 3rd party application that created the PARKSGL.DAT file to ensure accuracy. Once the Cash Receipts Upload Distribution report has been approved, the operator would then print the CASH RECEIPTS JOURNAL LISTING. The batch can then be processed to completion (see Cash Receipts Processing for information on how to post a cash receipts batch to the general ledger).
