# Post item ledger changes through item journals
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
An item ledger entry is not an independently insertable stock balance. Posting connects its quantity to item applications, reservations, tracking, and one or more value entries; expected cost, invoicing, revaluation, and later cost adjustment can produce different value entries for the same item entry. Running a table's insert trigger does not run this posting workflow or its configured inventory-to-G/L integration.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
The posting entry point for a prepared standalone item-journal movement is `"Item Jnl.-Post Line".RunWithCheck`. Persisted journal batches use `"Item Jnl.-Post Batch"`; sales, purchase, transfer, assembly, and production transactions retain their owning document/posting orchestration. Those workflows create the ledger, value, and application records together with their required checks.
|
|
|
|
Supported posting events enrich validated journal/source data within the owning workflow. Read-only ledger queries, temporary ledger previews, extension-owned metadata fields, and publisher parameters consumed by the poster are not independent ledger posting. A temporary item-journal buffer can still produce persistent entries when passed to a posting codeunit. A publisher's `var` parameter or `IsHandled` flag alone does not supply the missing quantity/cost coordination; the normal engine's own inserts operate within that coordination.
|
|
|
|
Not every value entry points to an item ledger entry: capacity and production WIP have their own supported posting relationships. Assembly and manufacturing posting retain order/component/routing and capacity context; one bare output/consumption call is not full order completion.
|
|
|
|
The clean sample takes an already prepared positive-adjustment journal line. It is not a substitute for journal preparation, batch revaluation, warehouse reconciliation, or source-document posting.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`post-item-ledger-changes-through-item-journals.good.al`](post-item-ledger-changes-through-item-journals.good.al).
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Independent inserts/deletes of persistent `"Item Ledger Entry"` or `"Value Entry"` transaction rows, or overwrites of posted quantity, remaining quantity, application identity, or cost amounts, bypass the coordinated receipt, shipment, adjustment, or cost-correction workflow. `Insert(true)`, `Modify(true)`, and balanced-looking quantities do not supply that orchestration: stock can change without the corresponding application/value graph, or downstream cost flow can remain stale.
|
|
|
|
A table declaration or custom annotation-field update does not change inventory quantities or costs and is outside this transaction-state concern.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`post-item-ledger-changes-through-item-journals.bad.al`](post-item-ledger-changes-through-item-journals.bad.al).
