journals and lines
Production journals are divided into two components: the journal itself and the journal lines or actual journal records.
-
- The production journal contains information that pertains to all entries. This information includes the journal type, name, and number; and, it collectively identifies which journal you are working with.A production journal can also contain information such as status, the method used to post information, whether negative deduction is allowed, and whether certain kinds of errors are accepted.
-
- Journal lines reflect the actual records or entries present in the journal itself. These records can include a list of production materials ready for release, the amount of time consumed, the number of good and defective items, and so on. Because journal records contain item transactions that result in financial transactions, the information in the records also exists in the ledger.
