    Hi,

    Journal controls allow you specifying what accounts and financial dimensions can be posted in a specific journal

    See for example:

    technet.microsoft.com/.../aa554683.aspx

    Journal restrictions relate to the people who can post journals.

    An example can be found here:

    dynamicsax-fico.com/.../journal-restrictions

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    As microsoft document:

    Journal Controls :

    Set up journal control options to set up posting rules for the journal name.

    Scenario
    Contoso uses journal control to set up limitations to certain journals. For
    example, the bank journal name is set up so that it is only possible for users to
    make bank account postings, and the customer payment journal allows only
    customer type postings.


    Procedure: Set Up Journal Controls
    Perform the following steps to set up controls and posting rules for a journal:


    Which account types can be posted? section:
    1. To access the Journal control form, click General ledger, click Setup, click Journals, click Journal names, and then click the
    Journal control button.


    2. Use the Add button to add detail information.


    3. Select the company accounts that allow posting for the current journal in the Company accounts list.


    4. In the Accounts type list, specify what type of account the journal may be posted to. If <All> is displayed, there are no posting restrictions by account type for the journal.


    Which segment values are valid for this journal? section:


    1. Use the Add button to add detail information. These fields are available only when Ledger is selected from the Company accounts list in the Which account types can be posted? section.


    2. Select a Company account to determine which segment accounts are available for this journal.


    3. Select the Segment that is valid for the selected journal.


    4. Select the Ledger type that is valid for the selected journal. If <All> is displayed, all ledger types are valid for the selected journal.


    5. Select the From and To value to determine the starting main account and the ending main account values that are valid for the selected journal.
