Recurring Journals

A recurring journal posts the same journal on a regular schedule, for example a monthly depreciation charge, a prepayment release or a regular accrual. You set it up once and Aedon.Accounting creates each journal on its date.

Open the Recurring Journals tab in Aedon.Journals and click New.

Step 1: Choose the journal pattern

Choose the pattern⁽¹⁾ and click Next⁽²⁾:

• Single: one scheduled journal.
• Equal: every journal is for the same amount.
• Different First, Different Last or Different First & Last: the first or last journal is for a different amount.

Step 2: Create the journal

1. Enter the First Regular Recurring Journal Date and Last Regular Recurring Journal Date, and choose the Frequency and the Date in the month⁽¹⁾.
2. Enter the journal lines⁽²⁾: the Nominal Code, a Description, and a Debit or Credit on each line. Add an account, product, quantity or analysis codes if you need them. Use Add a new line for more lines.
3. Check that the debit and credit totals⁽³⁾ agree, then click Next⁽⁴⁾.

Step 3: Review and activate

1. Check the summary⁽¹⁾: the first and last journal dates, the frequency, the number of journals, the regular amount and the total.
2. Enter the Journal Description⁽²⁾.
3. Click Activate⁽³⁾.

Each journal is created on its date by a scheduled job. The recurring journal’s Status shows whether it is Activated, On Hold, Deactivated or Completed. See Scheduling Jobs for Recurring Transactions.
