Copying entity journals

Entity accountants and group accountants can copy posted entity journals and post them from one context to another. The existing posted journals in the target context are canceled, and copied journals are posted and synchronized in OLAP. The periods to which journals are copied must be open.

You can copy journals of entities that have the same entity currencies and scaling factors as the target entities. Copying is not possible if the source entity has no currency, scaling factor, or both configured. If the source and target entities are identical and the target entity currency, scaling factor, or both are missing, then the copying is performed but a warning is displayed. You are instructed to configure the target entity parameters. If the source and target entities are different and the target entity currency, scaling factor, or both are missing, then the copying is not processed. You are instructed to configure the target entity parameters before you can copy journals.

Note: Copying group journals is not available.
  1. Select Journal Management > Entity Journal Management > Posting Journals > Copy Entity Journals.
  2. In the Source section, specify the configuration set, version, period, entity, and journal level from which to copy journals.
    You can specify multiple periods, entities, and journal levels. If you specify multiple periods or entities, or both, then the corresponding target fields are specified with the same data and are disabled. This is because the target context is automatically considered to be identical to the specified source context.
  3. In the Target section, specify the configuration set, version, period, and entity to which to copy journals.
    You can specify multiple periods and entities.
  4. Click Copy Journals.
    In the case of single selections, identical source-target context data is invalid and the Copy Journals button is disabled. In the case of multiple selections, identical source-target context data is excluded from copying and a warning is displayed.
    The copied journals are displayed in the Journal List after you select a target context. The copied journals are marked as copied in the Journal Summary and Category columns.
