After you create accounting entries in Payables, submit the Payables Transfer to General Ledger program to send invoice and payment accounting entries to the general ledger interface.

If you use Oracle General Ledger, then you can submit Journal Import, which uses the data in the GL interface to create unposted journal entry batches, headers, and lines. You can then post these journal entry batches, headers, and lines within General Ledger to update your General Ledger account balances. You can submit Journal Import either when you submit the transfer program, or separately, after the transfer process completes.

If you do not use General Ledger, you can use the data in the GL interface to create and post journal entries in your general ledger. Payables retains the accounting entries, so you can continue to review them in Payables. Also, after you post journal entries in Oracle General Ledger, you can drill down to the related accounting entries or transactions in Payables.

If you use the Multiple Reporting Currencies feature, read the Multiple Reporting Currencies in Oracle Applications manual for information on transferring accounting entries when you use the Multiple Reporting Currency feature.
