General Journal : Some interesting facts about Delete Lines and Lines Limit


Delete Lines after posting : If clicked, then the journal lines are deleted the moment the journal is posted. The journal header still exists in the journal list if the user selects Show : ALL, however if clicked on the Lines button for that journal, then system displays an empty journal without lines.
Such journals will NOT be visible if user selects Show: POSTED, even if the journal is posted.

Lines Limit: This refers to the number of vouchers and NOT physical lines in the journal. For example, if a journal has lines limit of 2 and if the user multiline journal (one debit and several credit lines to balance it). In that case as long as the journal voucher balances, that whole voucher will be considered as one line. Now suppose the user enters two more single line offset vouchers apart from the one multiline discussed above. If the user now tries to post it, AX allows the posting, but because of the lines limit, ONLY 2 lines are posted for that journal and the remaining one line is poste in another journal. The infolog displayed after the posting, gives this message to the user.

Interesting thing to note here is that the next journal that is created for that one line also has a lines limit of 2. So to test this I created one more journal with lines limit of 2 and created 5 lines (vouchers, mix of single line and multiline). This time after posting I got an infolog saying that the 2 lines are posted in the current journal, while the next two lines are posted in the next sequential journal and the remaining one line is posted in yet another sequential journal. This was an interesting yet un-important fact to know...!

Thanks!
