You use the generic Document Journal report to prepare a general journal as per the Polish Accounting Act (article 13.1). The law requires you to prepare a journal for each posting period by the end of the fiscal year at the latest.

The layout of the journal meets Polish legal requirements (see "Output" below).

To access the report, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Information System ® General Ledger Reports ® Document ® General ® Document Journal ® Document Journal.

When you run the report for a Polish company code, the system displays an output list as normal, but with the following additions:

• The words "Accounting Ledger" are printed at the top of the list.
• The start of the list is marked with the words "Start of List," and the end of the list is marked "End of List."
• Running totals are printed at the bottom of every page.
• The list shows who posted each document.
