Templates
Journal templates are created using a wizard which guides you through all relevant settings.
In some cases an invoice can be pre-paid over several months even if the invoice needs to be paid in full. This could e.g. apply to quarterly rental payments.
The settings for pre-payments of a journal template will only be available if you marked the checkbox The template will be used for pre-payments in the first part of the wizard for creating and/or editing journal templates. Read more about Creating/editing Journal Templates.
Click New for each pre-payment
you wish to create. For this kind of payment, a separate journal is defined
through Structure of journal lines
which is repeated a certain number of times with one period interval.
You can define how long after an active
period the repetitions are to start.
