Submit entry saves a prepared journal for an authorized poster. Use it after checking the date, account choices and amounts, particularly when your own access allows preparation but not direct posting. Submission itself does not establish that the entry has reached the posted ledger.
Open the saved request, verify the supporting reason and choose Submit entry where available. The request's status records the next stage. A reviewer can examine the complete lines and return the entry for correction if the assumptions or evidence need work.
Keep the source calculation accessible through the company's approved records so the person posting the adjustment can understand it. A concise journal reason should identify that evidence and the accounting period. Avoid including private credentials or unnecessary personal data in the memo.
Check the same request for the outcome instead of submitting another copy. If it remains unposted, determine whether an action is still needed or the request was returned. Your reports should be assessed against the posted status, not against the time the request was first submitted.
