Business value

Entering sales and purchase journals sometimes requires data entry for transactions that need deferrals. The process of entering data is smoother because you can specify a deferral code on sales and purchase journals without creating a general journal.

Feature details

When you set a deferral code on sales and purchase journal lines, you can post deferral transactions while you work in these journals. Deferral works the same way on sales and purchase journals as it does for general journals. For more information about deferrals, see Defer Revenue and Expenses.

Sales and purchase journals validate the source code. The validation process requires that the source codes for sales and sales journals, and purchase and purchase journals, aren't the same when you use deferrals. To resolve this issue, create a template and batch that use a different source code.
