What is Journal Entry in SAP?
The Journal Entry (JE) in SAP FI is used for posting a batch, validating it for consistency, creating FI documents, and posting those entries in various line item accounts required for multiple business functions.
Journal Entry Posting is a process that, with a few exceptions, runs "behind the scenes" and is the heart of Journal Entry. It receives journal entry data from the PRA modules, summarizes them in batches, and posts them to the PRA JE line item tables and to SAP FI.
It is a link between the journal entries from PRA applications and the FI documents and JE line item table items that are created.
