Set up journal document

Use the journal documents to write journal data to D365 FO journals.


Application Consultant Application Consultant Start Start Set up document - Inventory journal Set up document - Inventory journal Use an Inventory journal document to import data into the inventory journals.Compared to the D365 FO document, the Inventory journal document focuses only on the inventory journals. It has journal-specific properties and behavior.Based on the document type and journal name, the journal header is created automatically when the message is started, and the document is opened. So, in the document:No records are required for the journal header. Also, no mapping is required in the related message.Only set up records for the journal line tables. All lines in the same import message run are added to the created header. For the records, use tables that are related to the defined journal name. For example, the InventJournalTrans table in combination with the InventDim table.The journal name, as defined in the document header properties, defined which inventory journal is applicable. Examples of supported inventory journals are:Movement journalInventory BOM journalCounting journalTransfer journalProject item journal Procedure 1. Click Connectivity studio Integration Design. 2. Click the Documents tab. 3. Click New. 4. Define a meaningful name for the document. Example: If the document is used for a sales integration, you can use names like 'Sales - Order' or 'Sales - Invoice'. In the Document field, type a value. Note: Best practice: In the document name, do not use the: - Application: Use the Application field to define the applicable application. - Document type: Use the Document type field to define the applicable document type. 5.
