Make Journal Templates Mandatory in the Belgian Version

You can use journals to post purchase and sales documents and make other general ledger entries. Journal templates can then help you structure different types of entries. In the Belgian version of Business Central, you must specify if journal templates are required in the current company.

To make journal templates required in a company

1. Choose the icon, enter General Ledger Setup, and then choose the related link.
2. On the General FastTab, select the Journal Template Name Mandatory field. This field specifies if users must specify a journal template when they post general ledger transactions.

Note

If the Journal Template Name Mandatory field is not selected, Business Central will not use template names in the posted documents and entries.

Use journal templates in sales and purchase documents

If your organization decides to switch on the Journal Template Name Mandatory field, you must configure which journal templates will be used as default in sales and purchase documents.

Tip

Before you post a transaction, you can change the suggested template name in the Journal Template Name field. This way, the transactions are assigned another document number, as defined by the template.

To use journal templates in sales documents

1. Choose the icon, enter Sales & Receivables Setup, and then choose the related link.
2. On the Journal Templates FastTab, choose the journal templates you want to use as default for all sales documents.

To use journal templates in purchase documents

1. Choose the icon, enter Purchases & Payables Setup, and then choose the related link.
2. On the Journal Templates FastTab, choose the journal templates you want to use as default for all purchase documents.
