Financial Accounting - Chapter 13 Preliminary Document
OBJECTIVE: To learn how to park a document and subsequently post the document.

Exercise 1. Parking an Incomplete Document

In Boots-R-Us, sometimes it is necessary to enter a document even if some of the data for
posting is missing. The document parking function can solve this issue.

Test the scenario where a clerk begins recording last week’s purchase of office supplies (G/L
Account #XX4100) from XX_ALLIED; however, the amount is not very clear and she is not
certain whether it is $5,000 or 6,000. Therefore, she decides to enter the amount of $5,000,
park the incomplete document, and investigate further.
