PostJournalEntry

The purpose of the PostJournal is to transmit data necessary to create a journal entry from any sub ledger business application to a general ledger application.

Many applications in the enterprise environment create data that cause changes in the account balances of a 
general ledger application.  Some components that have activity which will be reflected in a general ledger 
application are:

1.	Benefits
2.	Costing
3.	Human Resources
4.	Inventory Control
5.	Manufacturing
6.	Payroll
7.	Production
8.	Treasury

By no means is this a complete list of all the components that create activity which generate a journal entry.

Many tasks that occur within the enterprise applications cause the creation of a General Ledger journal entry.  
Tasks relate directly to the Component.  For example, the adjustment of inventory value is a task that occurs within 
the Inventory Control Component.  Some of the tasks that would be catalysts for changes in a general ledger include:

1.	Receiving Inventory
2.	Issuing Inventory
3.	Transferring Inventory
4.	Adjusting Inventory Value
5.	Adjusting Inventory Count
6.	Calculating Material Variances
7.	Calculating Labor Variances
8.	Calculating Overhead Variances
