Description
Users can create re-usable templates for Journals, Bills, and Invoices. All fields in the template can be used to input desired data values except for date fields (i.e. transaction date, posting date, etc). A common use case is for Payroll Journals. If you have a Journal with the same set of journal lines that are leveraged often, creating a template can speed up creation of journals for your team.
Please note, when a created template is leveraged to create a new document (Journal, Bill, Invoice), all data present in document fields can be overwritten.
Note: Templates are what are used when creating any kind of recurring document, such as recurring Journal Entries each month off of a specific template.

Journals

Or click on the three stacked dots icon to edit an existing template
2. Create New Template from an existing Journal
