Posting journals, orders, invoices, or CR/Adj Notes, and running various batch jobs, creates entries in the financial statements. The Source Code Setup table contains all posting methods from the general journal, from a purchase invoice, and so on. It also contains the names of all the batch jobs that create entries. Next to each posting method and batch job is a source code that is an abbreviation for it. For example, GENJNL is general journal.
Sometimes, you need to see how a particular entry arose, such as whether it came from posting a general journal or a purchase invoice. To do this, use the Source Code and Source Code Setup tables.
When you post or run a batch job, the correct source code is automatically attached to the entry. For example, when you post from the general journal, the entry is coded as GENJNL.
To see where a given entry comes from, you can go to the relevant entry table, such as G/L Entry, Cust. Ledger Entry, Vendor Ledger Entry, or Item Ledger Entry, and view the contents of the Source Code field that is next to the entry.
