In this article you can read more about this.

Assign journal by including journal code in email

When you work with multiple journals, you can include a journal code in the email subject. In this case the specified journal will be assigned to the document. The journal code must be placed between square brackets. Some examples:

  1. Facturen mei 2017 [INK]

  2. Facturen mei 2017 [VRK]

  3. [VRK] facturen mei 2017

Please note: the values you add between square brackets are the code of the journal. These can also be numbers, for example [60] or [70]. You can find these via Manage / Environment / Administrations and then clicking 'Edit' and 'Journals'.

Assign journal with Destination assignment rules (Automation)

Are documents submitted via email? If so, configure the system so that all email submissions are automatically assigned to the purchase journal. Sales invoices can then be automatically linked to the sales journal through automation rules.

Automatically Assign Email Submissions to the Purchase Journal

Navigate to Manage / Organisation / Compmanies / Pencil icon next to the relevant administration / tab: Preference. Then follow the example shown below.



Assign Sales Invoices to the Sales Journal Using Automation Rules

Navigate to Manage / Organisation / Compmanies / Pencil icon next to the relevant administration / tab: Properties. Make sure that your company details are entered in the fields: CoC number, VAT number and IBAN.

Next, navigate to Manage / Organisation / Automation.

On the left, select Assign destination rules, and on the right, click the green Create rule button.

The fields that can be used are listed under 'Available fields for rules'.

Points of attention

  • When applying 'Destination assignment rules', a document is placed under 'Upload & read' under the correct journal. It can then be automatically read using an automation rule.

    Please note: newly assigned journals are not visible to other automation rules.

  • When applying 'Destination assignment rules', a processed invoice will be charged when working with rules.
