Automatic Creation of Dual Transaction Journals

Automatically generate dual transaction journals, that represent a credit entry and a debit entry, based on the configuration for the transaction type in the General Ledger Account Assignment Rule record. Integrate these transaction journals with any accounting system of your choice to prepare your financial statements such as balance sheets, and profit and loss statements.

After your Accounts Receivables admin creates general ledger accounts and assignment rules, and your Billing admin enables the Create Transaction Journals for Transactions feature, the system automatically creates transaction journals in these scenarios:

Billing Transaction Transaction Journals Created When
Invoice, Invoice Line, and Invoice Line Tax A Invoice record's status changes to Posted, Voided, or Canceled
Credit Memo, Credit Memo Line, and Credit Memo Line Tax A Credit Memo record's status changes to Posted, Voided, or Canceled
Credit Memo Invoice Application and Credit Memo Line Invoice Line After these records are created
Payment A Payment record's status changes to Processed
Payment Line Invoice and Payment Line Invoice Line After these records are created
Refund A Refund record's status changes to Processed
Refund Line Payment After these records are created
Debit Memo Line After these records are created
Note
Note Your Accounts Receivable Admin can create General Ledger Account and General Ledger Account Assignment Rule records even when the Create Transaction Journals for Transactions toggle is disabled.
