Periodic journal

Business requirements.

The periodic is a function that allows us to copy and paste a journal template previously created. It’s used to avoid reinserting the same entry from the beginning. It can be used as an alternative to the voucher template.

Business process

Create periodic journal

Go to: General ledger> Journal entries> Periodic journals.

Considering the journal present here will not be posted, they are the templates from where we will recover our entry. Insert a journal as usual:

At the line, we insert the recurrency time information:

Unit: The unit of measure (each day, month, year or all. All meaning we can recover any time that we want);
Number of units: Number of periods before a recovery and another;
Last date: Last date to consider as star date calculation for the next recovering
