Key Points to Emphasize
Note that “Journal Voucher” has a very specific meaning in SFS and is only applicable to the AP module. The SFS term for many of the transactions currently entered into CAS via legacy Journal Voucher is “Journal Entry”, and is specific to the GL module.
A GL Business Unit is defined for each entity that maintains and reports on its own transactional data (there are multiple GL Business Units in SFS, one for each Agency).
In most cases, Agencies record adjustments in the system of original entry instead of directly into the GL. As needed, users make other adjusting journal entries directly to the General Ledger decrease in the number of journal entries created directly against the GL.
According to the Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP), journals are entered using a double-entry system, where debits equal credits.

Key Points to Emphasize
Journals are balanced by Fund, and by Business Unit.
Agency GL Setup and GL Originators will be able to configure and set-up Speed Types after Go Live. SFS will not be configuring anything on behalf of agencies.
The purpose of the Inter- and Intra-Agency topics is to explain that the SFS produces additional journal lines after the Edit Journal process has been run in order to balance the journal entries. The lines will only be created if there is a change in the BU and the Fund. If these two values stay the same in the journal lines, then no additional balancing lines will display.
