Features

Journal groups have the following features:

Group ID

All journal entries in the same group have the same journal group ID, which is taken from the first journal ID in the group. (Each journal entry still maintains a unique journal entry ID.)
Group Status

All journal entries in a group have the same status. When you perform an action that updates the status of a journal entry in a group, for example, posting the journal entry, all journal entries in the group are also posted and their status updated.

To create a journal group
1. In the Journals page, click New in the toolbar to create a journal entry.
2. In the journal entry form, select Multiple Headers.
  
  The Multi Posting tab becomes available, and you can add the required additional headers.
To ungroup journal entries
- In the Journals page, select a journal entry in the journal group and click Ungroup in the toolbar.
  
  All journal entries in the group are now ungrouped.
  
  You can no longer perform multi-posting on these journal entries; the Multi Posting tab is grayed out in the journal entry form.
