Document Types
Use this function to define the various types of journals that can be used in accounting. Each accounting journal entered is linked to a given type.
Journal types are used to regroup accounting journals based on their common use principles:
- Processes: VAT, 1099 file, etc.
- Authorizations and controls: entry terms, authorized journals types, etc.
- Numbers
Due to functional dependencies, changing the length of the GTE data type beyond the default length of 5 characters is not supported.
Prerequisite
