General Ledger Journal Entries (GLJE)
All university financial transactions (actuals) are posted to the General Ledger (GL). Each transaction is assigned a general ledger journal entry (GLJE) number. The majority of the GLJE's are created within PeopleSoft modules (e.g. Payroll, Accounts Payable, Travel and Expense, Billing). The remaining GLJE's are processed by specific units (e.g. Internal Sales, GLJE Requests).
For more information on the PeopleSoft modules, refer to Guide Chapter 3 Financial System.
For specific information on the GLJE Requests, refer to the General Ledger Journal Entry (GLJE) Requests Procedure.
General Ledger Journal Entries (GLJE) by Mask
The following is an alphabetical list of all GLJE masks (the first characters of the journal Id), the purpose of the transaction and contact information if you have any questions about a specific GLJE.
Please note: The use of "x" at the end of a mask (e.g. APx) denotes that the Accounts Payable (AP) module may generate more than one mask (e.g. APP, APV) to identify specific transactions within the module. However, for user purposes (and this list) the only distinction of note is that these transactions are from the AP module.
