What Is The Purpose Of The AR:Enable Journal Balance Check Profile Option

This profile option was introduced as a result of a bug and an enhancement to control messages for out of balance checks.
AR:Enable Journal Balance Check can be set to No at the user level to disable it. Null or Yes values are both treated as yes.

If Create Accounting process detects any false positives and the users are unable to proceed, setting this profile option to N will allow the users proceed.

When it is set to No at site level, the ar_debug_log shows the following debug messages, indicating that the balance check is not done.

ARP_BALANCE_CHK.CHECK_RECP_BALANCE (+)
Profile AR: Enable Journal Balance Check is disabled
ARP_BALANCE_CHK.CHECK_RECP_BALANCE (-)

When it is enabled at site level, ar_debug_log shows the following debug messages, indicating that the balance check is done.

ARP_BALANCE_CHK.CHECK_RECP_BALANCE (+)

This profile option must be Yes or NULL to have the balance check enabled to avoid corrupted/unbalanced accounting entries to be transferred to GL.
