Insert Lines In Journal Entry

We need the ability to insert lines in a journal entry. Sometimes we don't want a new line to be at the bottom, which is the only option in NXT at the moment.


This was an option in database view, and it was very helpful. If we can't insert lines where we want, we should be able to re-arrange the lines in a particular order via a drag and drop feature.

    I'm hoping this issue gets resolved ASAP.

    Wow, I assumed I was being obtuse and couldn't figure out how to rearrange the lines of a JE in NXT. This is such an obvious feature. Being required unable to copy a JE from a previous month because it needs a new line inserted at the top is obscene. Not being able to insert new lines to my JE makes me want to insert expletives here. X''[

    This is a must for our daily processing to keep data in date order. We requested it last year and as of today nothing has been institued so we are forced to access the database which is being taken away in October. I don't understand why this has not been addressed and fixed NOW!!!

    This is critical! Agreed it doesn't make sense that such an important feature was left out of NXT! We use insert a line every day! Please do not get rid of the Database side until you have this fixed!

    How does Blackbaud not realize how important this is? I swear they must have done so little end-user solicitation because they left so much critical functionality from database behind. It's a must-have and should have been a no brainer. It makes it impossible to compare JE supporting documentation to the JE entry if any lines need to be added. Why is this for "future consideration" and not pending?

    Please!! Many of my journal entries are dozens if not hundreds of lines. I can't imagine having to redo that many lines because I missed something three lines down.

    Please! Seems like something that is so simple that should absolutely be there. My JEs are a mess and all over the place!

    This is an absolute must!!!! Who would ever do this without considering this? It is a real time sucker.

    Yes, this is a must! I need to be able to insert a line in a JE all the time!

    Agreed that this is a needed feature that was lost in NXT. Need to insert a line in the middle of a JE.

    Being able to insert a line is critical for me. I expect NXT to have at a minimum, the same functionality as database view, if not more. To have less is a huge disappointment.

    Please restore this feature! I am not looking forward to doing journal entries in Nxt because of this!

    This would be very beneficial. Currently, not being able to reorder or insert rows where I want them is my biggest disappointment with FE NXT

    We need to be able to insert a row in the middle of a batch. When posting from RE to GL we have to make adjustments for fees and insert rows/lines for some batches. The entire posting is often dozens of rows so adding a row at the bottom is really not a workable solution for us.

    The ability to move line items in the order would be a HUGE improvement. If not drag-and-drop, at least a "Move Up" and "Move Down" button would be very nice if it's easier to implement.

    Agreed! The ability to insert a line/row in the middle of a journal entry is sometimes so important for large and complicated journal entries, especially if they include various dates that need to balance.
