To transfer general ledger entries to cost entries
In the Search box, enter Transfer GL Entries to CA, and then choose the related link.
Choose the Yes button to start the transfer. The process transfers all general ledger entries that have not already been transferred.
During the transfer, the process creates connections in the entries in the Cost Entry table and the Cost Register table. This makes it possible to trace the source of cost entries.
