Difference between the Different Journals

aavio

Hi Frnds,
Can youtell me the difference between the different journals (Gen Jnl, Sales Jnl, Purch Jnl, Payment Jnl, Cash rcpt Jnl, FA G/L Jnl, Job G/L Jnl). They have Common Source Table - T81 - Gen. Journal Line.

Do they differ only in Template and Batch name..?? or is there any other difference in posting procedure?

these journals are different because they have to be used for different tasks. I am not an expert of functional area, but you obviously see different fields of the same table depending on the journal you're in.
More important, when you post one of them, different posting routines are called, in order to write different tables, with different checks and different restrictions...don't ask me what checks and restrictions...they're too much!
More important: if you push F1 while you're on one of these journals, you'll get the help, that explains to you the correct use of the journals.

i think its not correct :-k , with Account Type- Bank Account, Bal. Account Type- G/L Account,we could post it from FA G/L Jnl or Payment Jnl or cash Reciept Jnl. and it seems to be excuting same procedure, checks, same codeunits... and resulting same number of ledger entries with diffent Jnl Batch Names.

yep, you're right, sorry :oops: ...i should think twice before posting, next time

so these jnls differ only in template, batches and the different fields depending on the jnl form. is it..?? :?: :-k

Belias

yes, but remember that different fields populated, means different checks and different execution paths...
