A recurring entry in a journal is one that is consistently recorded in each accounting period. While some may involve identical accounts and quantities every month, others may involve the same accounts but varying amounts.
The Copy Journals process duplicates the journal entry from the previous period to the target period you select. For the copy journals process to work:
- The previous period's journal entry must be posted.
- The target period for the journal entry copy must be between the Recurring From and Recurring To time periods of the source journal entry.
- The journal entry can't already exist in the target period in a posted status.
- The target scenario and period must be open.

The classification of movement varies according to the system, preventing the input of data or Journals to the Opening Movement. Nevertheless, during the year-end Copy Journals procedure, entries with Opening members are generated and must be saved and posted.
In these cases, the JE Copy function copies the opening transaction, but the information is fixed and can't be changed. Additionally, the usual limitation that prevents saving and posting to the opening transaction will be removed.
Note: New JE line items that are created with the Opening member will be blocked by the JE validation process.
