Batch Date vs Transaction Date

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA

Dear All,

I am planning to change the setting of the GP system to create the journal entries from the batch date; currently the system creates the journal entry from the transaction date.

I was wondering how many of you are in favor of creating the entries from the transaction date? (is the bach date the best practice to close the accounts monthly?), just a little note, the reason that I plan to switch to the batch date is to close the accounts month by month.

Thank you in advance
