Processing a project journal


As with most of the modules in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, the Project management and accounting module contain several journals, such as hour, expense, fee, and item. Although they are similar to the general journal, they provide a more convenient user interface to work with projects and contain some module-specific features.

In this recipe, we will create and post a project journal from the code. We will process an hour journal, holding a registered employee's time.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps in order to complete this recipe:

  1. Create a new project ProcessProjectJournal, and assign our custom model to it.
  2. Create a new class named ProjJournalCreate with the following code snippet (replace the input values in the code to match your data):
         class ProjJournalCreate 
        { 
          public static void Main(Args _args) 
         {   
            ProjJournalTable     jourTable; 
            ProjJournalTrans     jourTrans; 
   ...
