Journal Entry Profiles

By using Journal Entry Profiles, you can set up a Profile Definition, Journal Entry Lines and then Assign Units. The journal entry profile is created within the Dataset.

•	Journal Entry Profiles allow you to create multiple journal entry configurations and assign them to one or more units.

•	Each unit can have either Journal Entry profiles or Unit Journal Entry configurations, not both.

o	Journal Entry profiles are located within Data Input dataset administration.
