Recurring Journals can be set up for entering any Nominal Transactions which are of a repetitive nature, and which reference the same Nominal Accounts each time they are posted. They can be set up so that they recur at any intervals that you require.

These Journals can only be posted using the Recurring function.

Selecting the Recurring Journals option, displays extra fields on the Journal or VAT Journal Header window.

Depending on whether the Working Periods feature is enabled and on your Security Profile permissions, it may be possible for you to continue to post financial changes, for month end procedures, even after the posting period has been advanced; in this situation the Period becomes a drop-down and you can select the appropriate period.

Recurring Journals are by definition batched, as they are held in the Batch queue, and used to generate the required number of Journals.

The exact Date that the first Journal will be generated.

The number of times in total a recurring journal can be posted.

You can set the Journal to recur every so many Weeks or Months.

You have the further option of generating a Reversing Journal, either when the Recurring copy is posted, or at the end of each Period in which a copy was Posted.

This is used to set how often the Journal will be posted. This can be set to Months or Weeks.

This is the number of times a journal can be posted in one period.

Should you exceed this number of postings per period - a warning message will generate from the recurring batch.

These are Recurring Journals that have had the Reverse option selected.

They can be reversed either when the Journal is Posted from the Batch, or at the end of each Period in which a posting was made.

If you wish to stop a Recurring Journal, you should Edit it in Recurring.

Tick this option if you want to use the Journal as a Template for creating new Journals, so that once the Journal has completed its posting run, it can be duplicated rather than re-keyed.
