Projects - Journal Batches Setup
Use the Journal Batches Setup to create the names and descriptions for project journal, budget journal and forecast journals. For example, under Project Journals, you might set up a project journal named PROJECT, and one named TIME&EXP. Then under each journal batch name, you can add additional batch types. In the example of TIME&EXP, you can add an Expenses Journal type, and a Timecard journal type.
