Journals Overview

Journals are used to record business transactions in the accounting records of a business from an enterprise resource planning perspective. Journals are typically used in financial consolidation projects to record closing adjustments. Journals display account amounts and indicate whether the accounts are balanced. In the OneStream app, journals are written to the AdjInput member of the origin dimension.

You can open or create journals from the OnePlace Workflow tab. Select a Workflow Profile, Scenario, Time Period, and then click the journal you want to open.
