Item Journal

Use this module to suggest default values for new Item Journal lines and reduce posting errors.

Set default values for new Item Journal lines to enter transactions faster and reduce posting errors.

⚙️ Default values

For Item Journal, you can define four values suggested for each new line by using Assisted Setup:

  • Gen. Bus. Posting Group
  • Entry Type
Note

The Entry Type option is only valid for journal of type Item.

  • Dimension suggestion code 1
  • Dimension suggestion code 2

These values depend on the setting from where the system should get the default values for the journal. These settings are defined on the Inventory Setup page in the Default Journal Data Setup field shown below:
