Create a journal run

Learn how create a journal run

The following is an example of a journal run configured to auto-create journal entries for Billing and Revenue transactions for the June 2014 accounting period. If created, the run process will factor in the GL Segmentation rule when auto-creating the journal entries.

You cannot create a new journal run if you have a pending journal run in your tenant.

  • If the summary journal entry feature was enabled on your Zuora tenant before March 1st, 2015: The earliest Target Date you can set for a Journal Run is two months before the month in which the summary journal entry feature was enabled. For example, if the feature was enabled on February 15th, 2015, the earliest Target Date of a Journal Run is December 1st, 2014.

  • If the summary journal entry feature was enabled on your Zuora tenant on or after March 1st, 2015: The earliest Target Date you can set for a Journal Run is January 1st, 2015.
