Prepare a due recognition journal draft

Create one source-linked month for the current posting workflow.

Updated 2026-11-11

Open a saved recognition schedule and choose an eligible due period. The detail distinguishes future months, locked periods, submitted requests and posted journals. Review the month, exact amount and original source before preparing another draft.

Use Prepare recognition draft, enter Reason and supporting records, and confirm that you reviewed the month, amount and source. Preparation creates a source-linked journal draft. Posting is a separate action that uses current Books permissions.

Open the journal request to inspect its saved accounts and amount. If a previous posted journal must be replaced, follow the required reversal process first; older unsubmitted drafts can become stale. Do not create a manual duplicate merely because the schedule still shows an unposted period during review.

After the authorized posting, refresh the schedule and inspect its journal link and Posted recognition amount. Only the retained posted result establishes that the month was recognized. Resolve a changed source, book setting or pending correction before preparing additional periods from evidence that is no longer current.
