The “ReportSuite” is an additional module subject to charge with which you can create journals.

When a journal is active BCS-2 makes an entry in the journal each time when one of the journal defined events occur. 

Use the “ReportSuite” tab to call up the list of journal entries with the functions required for creating or editing them.
