Nadia M.Jun 12, 2026Journal Source is correct. The AutoPost criteria in Fusion General Ledger uses Journal Source to identify where journals originate, so you can build separate posting schedules per subledger source like Payables, Receivables, or Assets, which is exactly what the Accounting Manager needs here.
Samuel O.Jun 13, 2026That is solid, and just worth adding that Journal Source works hand-in-hand with Journal Category here, so if someone needs even finer control within a single source they can layer in the Category criteria on the same AutoPost definition.
Samuel O.Jun 19, 2026Kept circling back to Category until I remembered Source maps to the subledger origin, which is exactly what the scheduler keys off.
Orla P.Jun 21, 2026Worth adding that the scheduler also reads the Period Mapping table before it even touches the subledger origin, so if that table has a gap, Source being correct buys you nothing on the output side.
Prof. SaraJun 24, 2026A is correct, Journal Source, and I remember sitting for this one thinking the distractor "Journal Category" almost got me because Category also appears in AutoPost setup, but the key is that Source identifies the subledger origin (Payables, Receivables, Assets) which is exactly what drives the scheduling logic by subledger. Think SOURCE equals SUBLEDGER ORIGIN to keep that straight on exam day.
Nadia M.Jun 27, 2026Source is the right anchor, but worth adding that in Fusion the AutoPost criteria also lets you filter by Batch Type alongside Source, so candidates should not be surprised if a distractor answer tries to conflate those two fields.
Orla P.Jun 27, 2026Journal Source ties the posting schedule to where the entry originated, so does that click for you when you think about why subledgers need separate run times?
Bao N.Jun 28, 2026Yeah that framing works but the trickier part on the exam is remembering that the subledger run time can also vary by transaction volume cutoffs, not just source, so two entries from the same origination system can still land in different posting windows.
Bao N.Jun 6, 2026Journal Description is how you distinguish which journals to target for posting schedules.
Nadia M.Jun 7, 2026Bao, Journal Description is just a free-text label with no functional role in posting rules, so the system cannot use it to filter or target journals. Option A, Journal Source, is what Fusion GL actually uses to identify where a journal originates and apply the correct posting schedule to it.
