.. _model-account.journal:
Journal
=======
A *Journal* represents a book of original entry from traditional manual
accounting.
In Tryton it allows `Account Moves <model-account.move>` of the same class
to be grouped together.
Every account move gets associated with a journal, and the journal defines
what sequence is then used to number the account move.
Among the journal's properties is a type.
This limits where the journal can be used.
.. seealso::
The journals can be found by opening the main menu item:
|Financial --> Configuration --> Journals --> Journals|__
.. |Financial --> Configuration --> Journals --> Journals| replace:: :menuselection:`Financial --> Configuration --> Journals --> Journals`

.. _model-account.journal.period:
Journal Period
==============
For each `Company <company:model-company.company>`, a *Journal Period* links
together the concepts of a `Journal <model-account.journal>`, and an accounting
`Period <model-account.period>`.
Each journal period is created automatically when the first
`Account Move <model-account.move>` is created in the journal and period.
It provides a way of partially closing a period one journal at a time.

The company's journal periods can be listed by opening the main menu item:
|Financial --> Reporting --> Journals - Periods|__
.. |Financial --> Reporting --> Journals - Periods| replace:: :menuselection:`Financial --> Reporting --> Journals - Periods`
