Create an SAP Business One Recurring Journal Entry Posting

Every business has recurring operating expenses that come up every month. The rent or lease payment on your building, your utilities or even payroll would be good examples. Rather than manually posting the amount each month, you can schedule a monthly Journal Entry to post your rent payment and set a reminder to complete the posting.

Create the Recurring Posting

1. In the main menu, go to Modules > Financials > Recurring Postings.
2. Enter a name in the Code field.
3. Enter a description in the Description field.
4. Optionally, you can enter your contract number in the Ref. 1 field.
5. In the G/L Acct/BP Code field in the grid, select the applicable bank account.
6. In the Credit field on the same row, enter the monthly amount.
7. On the next row, put your cursor in the G/L Acct/BP Code field and hit Ctrl+Tab on your keyboard to pull up a list of Business Partners.
8. Select the applicable Business Partner.
9. On the same row, click in the Debit field. The amount will automatically populate to match the Credit on the row above.
10. At the bottom of the screen, use the drop-down options to select the appropriate Frequency.
11. Optionally, you can check the Valid Until box, then select a date when the recurring posting will expire.
12. Click Add.
