Journal Setup Fields

This section describes the fields and actions on the Journal Setup workspace.

Access Level Card

Field Description
Access Level In this field, you can specify the description and name of the access level to be assigned to the journal setup.

Journals Card

Field Description
Journal Type The journal type. You cannot delete or rename this.
Transaction Type Group In this field, you can enter the number of the transaction types group to be used by the current journal type. Only the transaction types included in the group can be used in the current journal type.
Use Transaction Number Series In this field, you can see if the journal type uses Transaction Number Series. If the field is not marked, you should not spend time on defining default transaction number series for the types that are included in the current setup, as they will never be used.
Manual Journal Shows whether the user can select or enter a transaction type when creating the journal.

If this field is not marked, the user is not able to specify a transaction type in this journal; the system will derive the transaction type (the default transaction type of the journal).

Default Transaction Type Mandatory

Shows whether the journal must have a default transaction type, since the system will use it when deriving the transaction type.

Note the correlation between this field and the Manual Journal field; they are mutually exclusive. When one is marked, the other cannot be, and vice versa. If this field is marked, the group on the same line must have a default transaction type.
