User Instructions: Adding Multiple Objects to the Equipment Journal

This guide explains how to use the Select Objects action to quickly add journal lines for multiple equipment objects at once in Dysel BC. This is useful when the same journal type and settings apply to a group of objects.

Step 1: Open the Equipment Journal

Search for Equipment Journal in the Business Central search bar and open the Equipment Journal page.

Step 2: Select or Create a Batch

Verify the correct batch is selected at the top of the page.
To change the batch, click the Batch Name field and use the lookup.

Step 3: Create a Template Line

Before using Select Objects, create one journal line with all the shared settings that should apply to each object:

Enter the Document Date and Posting Date.
Fill in the Document No. — or leave it blank to have it assigned automatically from the batch number series.
Select the applicable Equipment Journal Type.
Enter the Amount, Cost Code, Account No., and Bal. Account No. as required for the selected journal type.

Note: The Equipment Object does not need to be filled in on the template line. The object will be set automatically for each line that is created by Select Objects. All other settings from this line are copied to each new line.

Step 4: Open Select Objects

With the template line selected, click the Object menu in the ribbon.
Select Select Objects. A list of available equipment objects will open.

Step 5: Select the Objects

Browse or search for the equipment objects you want to add.
Select multiple objects using Ctrl+Click or by using the mark button.
Click OK to confirm your selection.

A new journal line is automatically created for each selected object, with the Equipment Object filled in from the selection and all other fields copied from the template line. If a line for a given object already exists in the current batch, no duplicate line is created for that object.

Step 6: Adjust Lines as Needed

Review the newly created lines and adjust the Amount, Cost Code, or other fields per line where needed.

Step 7: Review and Post

Go through all lines and verify the amounts, accounts, and dimensions are correct.
Click Post (shortcut: F9) or use the ribbon: Posting > Post.
Confirm the prompt with Yes.
After successful posting, all journal lines are removed from the batch.
The resulting Equipment Value Entries can be reviewed via Object > Entries (Ctrl+F7) on the equipment object.

You have now successfully added multiple objects to the Equipment Journal and posted the lines!
