If you are using entrée accounting
Clicking the Release button will perform the actual release. The Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable postings will be marked to prevent them from being re-released, and the summaries will be saved in the General Ledger summary file.
If you are using a Generic accounting system
Clicking the Clear Postings button will mark the Accounts Receivable postings to prevent them from being re-released to General Ledger.
If you are using Linked Accounting
Clicking the Release button will transfer the Accounts Receivable postings to the transfer file and will mark the Accounts Receivable postings to prevent them from being re-released to General Ledger. If you have QuickBooks you will use the entrée.QB add-on module for a linked accounting system.
Once you release to General Ledger you will not be able to change Accounts Receivable invoices or cancel cash receipts that fall within the released date range.
