Test Posting Definition Wizard (form)
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Click General ledger > Setup > Posting > Posting definitions. Select a posting definition and then click Test.
Use this wizard to validate the selected posting definition version by entering a sample transaction and viewing the system-generated entries. These entries are collections of account numbers, simulated amounts of 1.00, and indicators of whether the entry is a debit or credit.
All criteria are evaluated for the selected posting definition version. This includes the criteria for posting definitions that are linked to the selected definition.
Note
You should create and test all your posting definitions before you select the Use posting definitions check box in the Ledger area of the General ledger parameters form. When you select that check box, posting definitions with a current effective date become active.
