Memorized Transactions

Memorized Transactions

Purpose and when to use this record

Save a reusable journal-entry or vendor-invoice pattern for recurring transactions while controlling date refresh and availability.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Template Name, and Auto-Update Date Fields.

  • Why care: Dates, accounts, amounts, posting state, and period locks can change financial reports. Verify them against the source document before finalizing the record.

  • Why care: Availability and publication flags affect future use without erasing history. Prefer disabling an obsolete setup record when existing transactions still refer to it.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Template Name, and Transaction Type and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The record saved but is not available where expected: Recheck Transaction Type, and Active, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Compare this page.Memorized Transaction with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
