    Good Morning DAX 369,

    As Andre mentioned this is an additional identifier/attribute that you can use e.g. for searches/reference.

    Yet, I would not put too much effort on that because ultimately, you will have to clean up the journal headers anyway to ensure that your system is running ok/fast.

    For that reason, record everything that you need for searches/references in the journal lines that are used to generate the voucher.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi DAX 369,

    This field is an additional attribute which can be used to identify ledger transactions next to a voucher number. There can be a default on journal names which will be inherited by a new journal header. However, this is not used in many cases. It makes more sense to fill it on the journal header which will then be a default for all journal lines.
