Transaction Trapping

"Transaction trapping" is the process used at data entry time for the software to automatically stop any transactions that should not be entered against a specific account. The settings entered (when defining Org Keys and Object Codes) are used by the system to perform the trapping.

The following chart identifies the field on the definition forms and the sequence in which they are checked to perform the trapping. At any specific point, if a trap fails, you are given an appropriate error message and additional data entry for that item is not allowed until the problem is corrected. The GL side is checked first and then the JL side.
