Transaction templates list for journal entries

Transaction templates provide a simplified method for users to enter journal transactions. Because each template defines the journal and accounts to be used for the transaction, users need only enter amounts and post the transaction.

The Transaction templates list has 2 functions:

  • Template designers can use the Transaction Template page to create a new transaction template or edit an existing one.
  • Users can add a new transaction based on a template, or display a list of posted transactions.

To view a list of transaction templates, go to General Ledger > Setup > More > Transaction templates.

This list supports the enhanced lists interface. Learn more about using enhanced lists.
