Double-check journal entry hash totals.
Use G/L Journal Hash Totals to double-check a journal entry by adding account element numbers together. For information on setting up account elements, see Account Element Maintenance and Ledger Maintenance.
The hashing totals feature is useful if you have many accounts in your journal entry, and especially if you use statistical accounts, since they reflect no total or difference with total credits and debits in Journal Entry, Journal Entry Edit, or Recurring Journal Entry Maintenance. Hashing totals allow you to see if all the necessary lines were entered into an entry by adding up the account element values.
