Validate and Post a Batch

You validate a batch to ensure it is in balance. When you validate a batch, General ledger makes sure it is in balance by fund, amount, period, period within a fund, source, and type.

The batch must also be in balance by any project, class, and/or transaction code required on the fund record. You can validate a batch of transactions from the batch record in Journal entry or from the Journal entry batches list.
