# Posting a PLM Staging Journal

Posting transfers validated PLM data into live D365 F&SCM tables by creating or updating engineering products and engineering change orders (ECOs). There are two types of posting:

- Manual Posting
- Batch Posting Open Journals

**Manual Posting**

Manual posting allows users to process individual staging journals on demand.

1. Go to **Engineering Change Management > Periodic > PLM Integration > Staging Journal**.
2. Select the journal to be processed.
3. Click **Post journal**. ![Post journal.png](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/Post%20journal.png)

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Manual posting is typically used for testing, validation, or controlled processing of specific journals.

**Batch Posting of Open Journals.**

Batch posting enables processing of multiple open journals simultaneously, either immediately or through scheduled jobs.

1. Go to **Engineering Change Management > Periodic > PLM Integration > Post Staging Journals**.
2. Configure the parameters and click **OK**.
3. Select **Run in the background** to schedule recurring automatic posting.
4. (Optional) Specify the number of threads to enable parallel posting in high-volume environments. ![Posting journal.png](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/Posting%20journal.png)

**Results of Posting**

- If posting succeeds, the integration automatically creates the associated structures based on scenario (ImportPart, ImportECO, ImportMigration, and ImportRelease)
- After posting, the data is managed through standard D365 F&SCM and [Engineering Change Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/engineering-change-management/product-engineering-overview) processes, including:
  - Product release
  - Readiness checks
  - Change order approval
  - Version control
