Contribution Versions and Automatic Journal Types

A contribution version consists of one or more automatic journal types. You can use a contribution version to total the automatic journal types it consists of in the same way as closing versions summarize various collections of journal types. You can select a contribution version in the control tables for automatic journals. This makes it possible to set calculation basis per journal.

A contribution version works in cooperation with the level of the automatic journals, which is set under Maintain/Configuration/Automatic Journals/Define. You should always fill in a valid contribution version in the control tables when possible. The contribution version BASE is predefined and must always exist in the system. The contribution version is dependent on the level of the automatic journals. For example, E700 which has level 1, cannot use the automatic journal type from another automatic journal type with level 1, as both automatic journals are run at the same time.
