A Journal Entry is a Customer-level record written to the TapeTrack Journal database.

Journal Entries can be used to record Customer activity that is not represented by a normal Volume movement or storage transaction.

For billing, a Journal Entry can represent a chargeable service such as:

• Express delivery.
• Overnight delivery.
• Immediate delivery.
• Special handling.
• Emergency retrieval.
• Additional administration.
• Other Customer-specific services.

Journal Entries are identified by a Journal Note Type index. The index is matched by an AddJournalChargeItem rule when the Customer's .ttstats file is processed by TMSS10LogStatsProcess.

Journal Note Types provide a controlled list of entries that users can select when recording Customer activity.

Each Journal Note Type has:

• An Index: Value used by the Billing Rules.
• A Description: Readable value presented to the user.
