Microsoft's description
Finance teams rely on journals for high-volume accounting processes, where performance, accuracy, and visibility are critical to keeping financial operations moving. The new financial journal capabilities in Dynamics 365 Finance will provide a more scalable approach to creating, importing, reviewing, and posting journals, helping finance teams reduce manual steps and identify issues earlier in the process. Finance teams can work with customer and ledger account types, import journals and review errors without navigating to the Data management workspace, and preview intercompany and intracompany accounting, accruals, and allocations before posting. Related documents make it easier to trace transactions, while integration with advanced tax calculations supports applicable tax scenarios. Future-period accruals no longer post automatically, reducing the need to keep future periods open. Optimized financial dimensions and the Ledger posting rules framework are prerequisites for using these capabilities.
