One at a time… batch posting journals across entities?

Dynamics 365 Finance

The article discusses the new functionality in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations that allows users to create and post Global general journals in batch across multiple legal entities.
To utilize this functionality, users need to navigate to General ledger > General journals > Global general journals and choose the option to create a new journal for the desired legal entity.
Users can populate the journal with entries just like a normal general journal, including selecting different account types and accessing data from the corresponding legal entity.
Once the Global general journal is created, users can post it in batch without changing the legal entity, which creates a batch job in each corresponding legal entity to finalize the posting.
The article mentions the option to use the Open lines in Excel feature to avoid manually posting a large volume of lines.
It suggests the possibility of building an Excel template to populate multiple journal batches simultaneously, although this has not been tested.
The functionality does not allow users to post a journal batch with multiple lines for different legal entities without appropriate intercompany posting configuration.
Users need to have the relevant permissions in the legal entities to create journals and post to them.
