# Post a staging journal

Use this task to post a PLM staging journal and transfer valid PLM data to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. You can post the journal immediately or run the posting process as a batch job.

## Steps

1. Go to **Modules** > **Engineering change management** > **Periodic** > **PLM Integration** > **Staging journal**.
2. Select the journal to post.
3. Select **Post journal**.The posting dialog opens.
4. Under **Parameters**, set **Transfer failed lines**:
  - **Yes**: Posts the valid lines and moves failed lines to a new error journal.
  - **No**: Stops the complete posting process if any validation error occurs.
5. Review the posting settings and select **OK**.
6. Review **Message details** or the **Infolog** message to confirm the posting result.
7. Return to the **Staging journal** list and review **Journal status** and **Original journal**.

**Results**

The posting result depends on the validation outcome:

- **Successful:** All product groups are posted. The journal status changes to **Posted**, and the system does not create another staging journal.
- **Partially successful:** Valid product groups are posted, and failed product groups are transferred to a new journal with the status **Open**. The source journal status changes to **Posted with errors transferred**.
- **All product groups fail validation:** No product groups are posted. The system transfers all failed product groups to a new journal with the status **Open**. The source journal status changes to **Posted with errors transferred**.
- **Journal-level or system error:** The posting process stops. No product groups are posted or transferred, and the source journal remains **Open**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - If the journal remains **Open**, review **Journal line status** and **Journal line message**. If **Transfer failed lines** was set to **No**, any validation error stops the complete journal. Correct the errors or post again with the option set to **Yes**.
> - If no product groups post when **Transfer failed lines** is set to **Yes**, check for a journal-level error, such as a missing target company. Because the error cannot be assigned to a single product group, the system stops the complete posting process.
> - When product release automation is active, posting also releases the products. The system finds the receiving company and site per line. See [Product release automation](https://docs.staedean.com/manufacturing/docs/en/product-release-automation).
