What is a Journal?

 A Journal is a quick fix to balance an un-balanced account/amount
 It is a manually entered and traceable
adjustment(s)/correction(s) made to the system/model
 The changes do not cascade-down to the Source System
 Journal posting will update the corresponding InfoCube and
Journal Detail Table
 Any logic is written in Journal.lgf will be executed when the data is
written to the Model via Journal Entry
 Default.lgf is executed for Journal Entries only if the Journal.lgf is
not used

Business Scenario:

Administrators load data from various source GL systems in to a Model.
Accounting team will review the data and should there be discrepancy
in balancing accounts/amounts, the team will create Journal (s) to
balance the amounts for reconciling. This is necessary since correcting
the source system and reloading may take significant amount of down
time. This process is typically done after month-end and quarter-ends.
