Saving Journals, Saving Time: Mastering Post and Transfer in D365 Finance

🛡️ Welcome to the AxmedJay Journey

Mistakes happen. Especially in financial operations, where even a small error in a payment journal can stop critical processes.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance offers a powerful feature called Post and Transfer — a way to keep your operations flowing even when errors occur.

In this post, we'll dive into how Post and Transfer works, why it matters, and how you can use it to save time, reduce disruption, and keep financial transactions moving — because in finance, agility is everything.

Post and Transfer Functionality

Post and Transfer Functionality is used in D365 when an error causes the whole journal to fail during posting. Sometimes there are huge integrations involved for payments posting, an error can cause the whole journal to fail, for this reason post and transfer functionality is used.

Post and transfer functionality shifts the journal lines to a new journal. The log, history and reference are made to the parent journal. Through this way the parent journal without a line issue is posted successfully without any issue.

·        Enter lines on Customer payment journal.

·        Add multiple lines to the journal.

·        The customer account in one of the lines is left out



Click on transfer and post
  • System will move the line with error in another journal line.

  • The correct lines would be posted.
  • Line with error would be shifted to a new Journal. 

·        The Journal with error lines will be created through post and transfer.

·        To find that journal we have to add a column for ‘Parent journal’ in the Main journal header page.

·        For that GO to Accounts Receivable>Customer Payment Journals

·        Right click on the journals table and click on ‘Add column’
