10 OPplus module This chapter describes how to set up and use the module ( menu group). You can use this module to create open entries for G/L accounts in the same way it is possible for customers and vendors. This can be especially useful when using or carrying costs such as "Money Transfer", "Transit Entries" or "Social Insurance Payables" accounts. Setup General tab Here you can set up the system to create open entries for already existing entries for which you have specified a G/L account to build open entries. Blank If you select the blank option, only new entries will be set to Open. In order to activate the creation of open entries, it is required that the G/L account's balance equals zero. All Entries If you select the All Entries option, only the existing entries of the G/L account will be set to Open if the G/L account's balance is unequal zero. Hyperlink in Report in Color If you want to show the hyperlink to the respective G/L account in the G/L Account - Open Entries report in blue color, place a check mark in this field. If you do not use the color, it is still possible to drill down to the G/L account card by clicking on the account number. Alternate Application Account This field contains the account which is used to post the zero posting. 10 of 22

Appln. between Currencies Here you can either select the None or All option. If you select All, all entries within one application will be in the same currency. Open Item Acc.

Open Item Acc. vs. Open Item Acc. not allowed If you place a check mark in this field, you may not use two G/L open accounts for application. Otherwise, you will receive the following error message: Source Code tab This tab is used to specify the source codes for the following: G/L Entry Application (set to GLOEAPPL by default) Unapplied G/L Entry Appln. (set to UNAPPGLOE by default) It is recommended to keep the default values. 11 of 22

12 G/L Account Card With the module, the new tab OPplus is available on the G/L account card. Build Open Entries check box If you activate the Build Open Entries check box on the G/L account card, a dialog box appears asking you whether you want to enable the creation of open entries for the G/L account (here shown for G/L account no. 1005): If you click Yes, the system will check the setting of the Create Open Entries field in the G/L Open Entries Setup as well as the current balance of the relevant G/L account. Depending on the values of these fields, one of the following scenarios applies: Scenario 1 Precondition: Open Entries Setup Create Open Entries field = blank G/L account balance equals zero Result: The Build Open Entries check box can be activated for the G/L account. Only new G/L entries will be set to Open. 12 of 22

Scenario 2 Precondition: Setup Create Open Entries field = blank G/L account is not zero Result: The Build Open Entries check box cannot be activated due to the existing G/L account balance.

Post the balance of G/L account (A) to another G/L account (B). 2. Activate the Build Open Entries check box for G/L account A. 3. Post the balance of G/L account B back to G/L account A.

13 Scenario 2 Precondition: Setup Create Open Entries field = blank G/L account is not zero Result: The Build Open Entries check box cannot be activated due to the existing G/L account balance. The following message appears: If you do not want to change the Setup, perform the following steps to create open entries for a G/L account: 1. Post the balance of G/L account (A) to another G/L account (B). 2. Activate the Build Open Entries check box for G/L account A. 3. Post the balance of G/L account B back to G/L account A. If you change the Setup, please refer to scenario 4. Scenario 3 Precondition: Setup Create Open Entries field = All Entries G/L account balance equals zero Result: The Build Open Entries check box can be activated. Since the G/L account's balance equals zero, only new G/L entries will be set to Open. Scenario 4 Precondition: Setup Create Open Entries field = All Entries G/L account balance is not zero Ergebnis: The Build Open Entries check box can be activated. Due to the existing balance, all entries would be set to Open. Here the following message appears: 13 of 22

14 If you click Yes, all entries of the G/L account will be set to Open. If the account is a G/L account which is posted indirectly via a bank account, the assigned bank G/L account and/or the bank transit G/L account will be considered for the application of entries. Build Open Entries check box If the Build Open Entries option on the G/L account card contains a check mark, and you want to deactivate it, the following dialog box appears asking you if you want to deactivate the creation of open entries (here shown for G/L account no. 8400): If you click Yes, the system will check if the remaining amount of all entries equals zero. If yes, the check box will be deactivated. Remaining amount equals zero in all entries The check box will be deactivated. Remaining amount does not equal zero at least in one of the entries The following message appears: Application Bal. Credit Account Application Bal. Debit Account These fields are used if you have an application balance for a G/L open account and you want to leave the Ext. Application. If no account is specified here, the G/L account number of the original journal line will be entered into the second line as usual. Dimension for System Posting The following options are available in this field: 14 of 22

If a system posting takes place (e. g. exchange rate regulation), you can specify the dimensions to use in the corresponding account. If you select Gen. Jnl.

Line), the dimensions of the G/L account will be used if there is no dimension value in the journal line. Balance field The OPplus tab now has the new Balance field.

15 If a system posting takes place (e. g. exchange rate regulation), you can specify the dimensions to use in the corresponding account. If you select Gen. Jnl. Line (Always), you will get standard NAV behaviour. If you select G/L Account (Always), the default dimensions of the G/L account will be used. If you select G/L Account (if empty Gen. Jnl. Line), the dimensions of the G/L account will be used if there is no dimension value in the journal line. Balance field The OPplus tab now has the new Balance field. In contrast to the NAV standard application, this field always behaves the same in each version. By clicking the field, you can open the G/L Entries Rem. Amounts window. Entries incl. Rem. Amount With the module, the new menu item called "Entries incl. Rem. Amount" is available via the Account button on the G/L account card. 15 of 22

16 By selecting the "Entries incl. Rem. Amount" field, you can open the "G/L Entries Rem. Amounts" table which, in comparison to the "G/L Entry" table, consists of five additional columns: Open This field shows if the entry amount is completely paid or if there is a remaining amount to be applied. A check mark in this field indicates that the entry has not yet been completely applied Remaining Amount This field shows the remaining amount which must be applied before the entry itself is completely applied. The remaining amount is automatically calculated during posting and is updated each time you perform application. As is the case for customer/vendor entries, the Remaining Amount field is a FlowField for the newly created detailed G/L entries: 16 of 22

Closed by Entry No., Closed at Date, Closed by Amount These fields indicate the entry and the amount which were used to completely apply a specific entry (and to close it).

17 Closed by Entry No., Closed at Date, Closed by Amount These fields indicate the entry and the amount which were used to completely apply a specific entry (and to close it). Apply Entries In the "G/L Entries Rem. Amounts" window, you can open the application page by selecting Action > Function > Apply Entries which resembles the application window of the standard Navision system. The application of open G/L entries is performed the same way it is done for person accounts. In addition, you can use this window to open the Detailed Gen. Ledg. Entries window. Please note the following if the OPplus Base module is licensed: If the application method of the Ext. Gen. Journal Template is set to "Extended", the entry application is performed in the "Easy Match" and "Extended Application" forms. Otherwise, it is performed in an application window which resembles the application of the standard Navision system. Application of Open Entries including Customer and/or Vendor Entries If you want to apply a G/L entry and a customer or vendor entry during posting, you must enter separate lines in the Gen. Journal Line. 17 of 22

18 If you just enter the posting in one line (by filling in the Account No. and Bal. Account No. fields), only the customer and/or vendor entry will be applied. This is due to the program logic specifying that within one-line posting the application of a customer or vendor entry takes precedence. In this case, you need to perform the application on the account subsequently. Detailed Entries In the "G/L Entries Rem. Amounts" window, you can drill down to the related detailed G/L entries by selecting Action > Function or by pressing CTRL + F5. Open G/L Accounts In the OPplus menu, you will find the new Open G/L Accounts menu item. If you click the Open G/L Accounts menu item, a window opens which shows the accounts in the upper part. The accounts shown here are based on the setting of the Create Open Entries field = Yes. In the lower part, you will find the respective G/L account entries. 18 of 22

The system automatically fills the Applies-to ID and Amount to Apply fields.

19 In the Open G/L Accounts window, you can directly set applications for individual entries by selecting Application > Set Applies-to ID. The system automatically fills the Applies-to ID and Amount to Apply fields. You can now perform the application by selecting Application > Post Application. 19 of 22

G/L Account tab Here you can indicate the G/L accounts you want to consider in the report. In addition, a date filter must be specified.

20 G/L Account Open Entries By selecting G/L Accounts Open Entries G/L Account Open Entries, you can print the open G/L entries or export them to Excel: Options tab Here you can place a check mark in the Output to Excel field if you want to export the report contents to Excel. G/L Account tab Here you can indicate the G/L accounts you want to consider in the report. In addition, a date filter must be specified. If this report is opened e. g. by using a To Date filter, the Open Entries List will be printed based on an effective date (e. g. date filter..12/31/2015 => all open G/L entries due as of 12/31/2015). 20 of 22

21 G/L Entry tab Here you can indicate the G/L entries to be included in the report. If you want to export the report without printing it, you must at least open the report by clicking the Preview button. Using the and Extended Lists & Reports modules If you use both the and the Extended Lists and Reports modules, the Entry Comment field will also be available in the G/L Entries Rem. Amounts table.
