- GL COA Maintainer: Agency GL COA Maintainer or DFS GL COA Maintainer role responsible for reviewing and assisting with researching Edit Check error

Process Step ID | Process Step Title | Description of Process |
|---|---|---|
1 | Determine Edit Check Method | The Edit Check process performs final validations of the accounting entries before the journal is posted to the Ledger. Edit check verifies:
The GL Journal processor determines how to perform the edit check process based on the business need driving the journal. The Edit Check process is performed manually or via a scheduled run process. |
2 | Manually Trigger Edit Check | The GL Journal Processor can manually select to perform Edit Check from the process menu on the GL Journal. |
3 | Edit Check Journal | If the GL Journal Processor does not manually trigger the Edit Check process, Florida PALM performs the Edit Check on a predetermined batch schedule. |
4 | Review Edit Errors | Prior to running the edit check process, the journal status has not been checked and reflects an N (no status). Upon successful completion of the Edit Check, the journal status is updated to V (valid) and continues with the transaction processing process. If the journal fails the Edit Check, the transaction status will be updated to E (error) and must be addressed before proceeding. To review journals that are in edit error status, the GL Journal Processors use the Journals with Edit Errors report from the GL WorkCenter. |
5 | Correct Edit Errors | The GL Journal Processor updates the GL Journal to resolve the error identified by either changing the ChartField values being used, updating amounts, or adding additional journal lines for the transaction to pass the edit check. The corrected journal goes through the Edit Check Process again either manually when triggered by the GL Journal Processor or automatically as part of the scheduled batch process. |
6 | Assist with Error Correction | If the GL Journal Processor is not able to resolve the error, then the GL COA Maintainer within the agency is consulted to assist with error correction. The GL COA Maintainer determines if the ChartField values are active, verify the Combination edit is active, verify that the SpeedKey is correct and ensure the period is open. After the error has been addressed, the GL COA Maintainer notifies the GL Journal Processor that the journal should be ready for the errors to be addressed. |
7 | Delete Journal | If the edit error is unable to be corrected by the GL Journal Processor or the GL COA Maintainer, the GL Journal Processor deletes the journal. |
