ProcessJournalEntry — Journal entry

On this page

OAGIS BOD combining the verb Process and the noun JournalEntry. Business cornerstone of the finance domain in the OAGIS 10.x ecosystem.

BOD purpose

The ProcessJournalEntry BOD pushes a journal entry (balanced debit / credit across multiple accounts) from an operational system toward the general ledger. Canonical equivalent of a CSV journal upload or of a SAP FI IDoc interface.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

As every OAGIS BOD, ProcessJournalEntry stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a DataArea business payload containing the verb Process and the noun JournalEntry.

XML example

Minimal OAGIS 10.x payload for didactic purposes. The structural elements (header + business line) are required in any conformant implementation.
