A journal entry header enables you to define the general properties of the journal entry, like the reporting unit to which the journal entry is assigned, the audit ID, period, and currency.

The following information can be entered or consulted in the header:

• Reporting unit, which can only be consulted.
• Audit ID, which can only be entered if the ledger authorizes several audit IDs. Otherwise, the audit ID is automatically filled in.
• Period, which can only be entered if the category scenario contains multiple periods. Otherwise, the period is automatically filled in.
• Journal entry currency, which can only be consulted.
