Standard Journal Voucher (JV)

Purpose

The Standard Journal Voucher (JV) Document Code is one of several Document Codes of the JV Document Type that can be created manually by a user (JV, JVA, JVC, JVIN and JVR).  All others should be created by chain jobs.  The JV Document Code should be used when an event type and posting pair is required to control posting code entry.  Event Type and posting pairs specified on the JV Line Group limits the choice of posting codes that can exist on the JV Accounting Lines under that line group.  As the JV can perform any type of accounting, having the restriction on Posting Code choice based on a selected Event Type provides end user control.  For this reason, when the creation of manual journal entries is decentralized to end users, multiple document codes capable of performing only one event type are common.

The Standard Journal Voucher (JV) is comprised of just three document sections containing many fields common to accounting documents along with several that support the business functions of the Journal Voucher.   All of the other delivered document codes use the same structure and HTML (fJV) as the JV Document Code with the following exceptions:  

The JV contains the following sections:
