Field help (TYPJOU)

Enter the journal type. It must be of the same type as the journal linked to the selected journal type.

 It is mandatory to enter this field if the box "All journals" is not checked.

The journal type is used to group journals based on common characteristics mainly linked to the nature of the operations that will be recorded in it:

• Sales,
• Purchasing,
• Cash,
• Miscellaneous Operations,
• Analytical MOs,
• Carry forward entries.

Some processings and controls depend on the journal type:

• the "carry forward entries" journals can only record journals associated with the "Carry forward entries" period",
• the "ana. MO" type journals can only record journals assigned to the "analytical" category.
• a cash account must be attached to each "cash" type journal so that the entries posted in this journal have an automatic counterpart. A cash-type journal is used:
• in the A/P-A/R accounting module on payment posting,
• in the automatic journals.

 The setup of the cash journals is specified in the Definition of the journals, journal types and accounts on payments documentation.

Six journal types have been allocated to the miscellaneous operations:

• values 4 and 5 for the General Accounting,
• values 8, 9 and 10 for the Analytical Accounting,
