Hi, we want to schedule the invoice postings all the payment journals, general journals, picklist journals to be schedule say once a day so that we can batch many journals togather and then post in 1 shot. Do we need to set up batch job for each type of journals? what is the best practice when it comes to scheduling the batch job? How to set this up? Do we need any special server to be set up for this purpose?

many thanks

The batch job will depend upon timings, so you need to define each, so map out what you want with regards to posting and recurrence. You should have a batch server. This concept has not changed and there are lots of postings on this forum that you can search upon.
