C Journal Batches

Journal Batches can be created and populated by the SDK. However they cannot be processed.

The following example displays how to create and save a Journal Batch.

{

   string BatchNum = "JB002";
   //check if Batch code exists in pastel
   if (JournalBatch.FindByCode(BatchNum) == -1)
   {
       // Batch code does not exist, then create it
       JournalBatch createbatch = new JournalBatch();
       createbatch.Code = BatchNum;
       createbatch.Description = "JB Batch";
       createbatch.Owner = new Agent("Admin");
       createbatch.Save();
   }

   JournalBatch batch = new JournalBatch(BatchNum);
    
   var detail = new JournalBatchDetail();
   detail.Date = DateTime.Today;
   detail.Account = new GLAccount("Advertising");
   detail.Debit = 500;
   detail.Description = "So and so";
   detail.Reference = "Ref001";
   batch.Detail.Add(detail);
   batch.Save();//Save each JournalBatchDetail seperately or comment out to save both together

   detail = new JournalBatchDetail();
   detail.Date = DateTime.Today;
   detail.Account = new GLAccount("Advertising");
   detail.Credit = 500;
   detail.Description = "So and so";
   detail.Reference = "Ref001";
   detail.Tax = 50;
   detail.TaxRate = new TaxRate(1);//Specify a tax type
   detail.TaxAccount = new GLAccount("Accruals");//Specify a tax account
   batch.Detail.Add(detail);
   batch.Save();

   //If required the clone method can be used to copy the previous line
   batch = new JournalBatch(batch.Code);
   batch.Detail.Add(detail.Clone());
   batch.Save();
