It would be helpful to add a new menu function for "Inquiry/Financial
Inquiry/Historical Journal Entry" for looking up journal entries that were
posted to a closed year. This functionality would parallel
"Inquiry/Financial Inquiry/Historical Summary" and "Inquiry/Financial
Inquiry/Historical Detail".

Many times after looking up historical detail (or even detail), if you
select a transaction line and click the "Journal Entry" hyperlink, it brings
up the journal entry- you get the JE detail you want, but there is no option
to print or output. So I note the JE number and go to "Inquiry/Financial
Inquiry/Journal Entry" enter the JE number, bring up the JE and print, except
if it is a historical JE. You get an error message if you inquire on an JE
that is in a closed year. In this case you have to go run a cross-reference
report, for which you need to know the JE number and the historical year it
was posted to setup and generate the report.

Suggestion: Allow print/output option available at the point of drill down
on the "Journal Entry" hyperlink and/or add Historical JE Inquiry with
print/output option.

Just to include more information about this topic. GP version 8.0 use to have
this functionality in the past, I do not understand why this is not available
witn 9.0 version.

We have the same problem with one of our customers, it´s critical for their
process to have this historical journal inquiry.

Please let me know if you have a solution or workaround.

Best Regards,

Israel Hernandez

I see this has been languishing for several years, now....is there REALLY no
way to inquire upon a journal entry in a prior year without scrolling through
all the entries for a particular account on the entry?

What was the philosophy behind that?

Bud, I typically use the Account Transactions SmartList for this - you can
just search on the JE number since you already know it and then either
print/export the entire entry from there (most people want this in Excel
anyway) or double click to drill down and see the transaction details and
source document.

Thanks, Victoria, for the tip!

It still baffles me why there isn't a screen to directly input the journal
entry number.
