# brc_create_nominal_journal_batch

Creates a new Nominal Journal Batch. The journal should contain balanced debit and credit lines. Do not call with confirmWrite=true until the user has reviewed the preview and explicitly confirmed creation. Requires routeToken from brc_route_request for the matching action workflow. Call brc_route_request first with the user's complete original action request. Retain the returned routeToken through lookup, preview, and confirmation, and pass the same token on the final permitted transactional tool call. Never invent a placeholder token. A routeToken is not permission to post — preview-before-posting and confirmWrite/confirmDelete still apply.
