Journal Entry Post and Unpost

There is a global class in the called JournalEntryPostService. This class contains two static global methods. One is related to posting journal entry records called postJournalEntries and another is related to un-posting journal entry records called unpostJournalEntries.

You cannot call either method with more than 1,000 journal entry lines. If you need to post or un-post more than 1,000 journal entry lines you will need to call the class static method from a class which implements the Apex batchable interface.

Each method returns a list of post-result records which will indicate if the journal entry was posted or un-posted successfully. If the record was not posted or un-posted successfully, an error code is provided, documenting the reason the record was not posted or un-posted.
