As shown in the image above a ''G/L Journal batch'' can contain below data:
* the '''accounting period'''
* the '''accounting date'''
* and the '''currency'''
None of above data is mandatory at this point because a G/L journal can contain several journals having different accounting periods and accounting dates. Same applies to the currency as a G/L journal can contain several journals of different general ledger configurations.

Once a batch is created and saved, it is possible to create as many [[G/L_Journal#Header|G/L Journals]] as required, which once ready can be completed and processed at the same time as a "unique" batch.

A G/L journal and therefore its content can be set up as "Template", that template can be later on used while creating a new G/L journal by using the process button "Copy Lines" as described in the next section.

==== G/l Journal set up as “Template” ====

As already mentioned a G/L Journal and therefore its content can be configured as a "Template". For getting that working it is required to follow below steps:

'''1.''' '''create a G/L journal''' to account the employee payroll corresponding to the period of July 2012, for instance. That G/L Journal needs to be marked as "Template".<br>The content of that G/L Journal can be the one described in the [http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/How_to_manage_payroll_accounting_and_payment#G.2FL_Journal_creation How to manage payroll accounting and payment] article.

'''2.''' Create a '''new G/L journal''' to account the employee payroll corresponding to the period of August 2012. Enter an '''Accounting Date'''" and a "'''Period'''":

'''3.''' Press the '''Copy Details''' process button.<br>
A new window is shown containing all the templates available:

Note that it is possible to search for a template by using the G/L journal document number set as template and the description fields.

'''4.''' '''Select a template and click OK'''. After that, Openbravo populates in the just created G/L Journal the same journal entries only the dates are different.

It may be necessary to change the journal entries amounts, for doing that
it is possible to edit the [[G/L_Journal#Lines|G/L Journal Lines]] and then change the amounts. <br>The last step is to post the G/L Journal, therefore the corresponding journal entries are posted to the ledger.
