Create Transaction

To create an item journal transaction, follow the steps within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central documentation, and incorporate these steps: 

  1. In the header, do the following: 
    1. If the Entity Code is empty or you do not want to use the default entity, select an entity.
    2. If needed, change the Batch Name.
    The transaction lines are updated with transactions that have the same entity as the selected Entity Code and are in the specified Batch Name.
  2. For each line that you add, change the Entity Code and other values as needed.
  3. If the action is available, select Preview Posting to review the ledger entries for the transaction.
    When the entity of the line is different from the entity of the header, intercompany distributions for the line are applied during the preview or posting of the transactions.
  4. You can then finish processing the transaction as per the instructions in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central documentation.
