# Record Creation for the General Ledger Account Assignment Rule

When billing transactions are Posted, Canceled, Voided, or Processed and they match the defined filter criteria and journal entry rules, then dual transaction journals are created for the defined general ledger accounts for each general ledger journal entry rule.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions with <a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.revenue_licenses_areas_and_features.htm&amp;release=264.0.0&amp;type=5">the Revenue Cloud Billing license</a>. Contact your Salesforce account executive for more information.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The debit general ledger account is populated for the debit transaction journal entry, and the credit general ledger account is populated for the credit transaction journal entry. See [Automatic Creation of Dual Transaction Journals](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.billing_general_ledger_results.htm&language=en_US).

If multiple general ledger journal entry rules apply to the same transaction type, a corresponding number of transaction journals are generated. For example, if two general ledger journal entry rules are defined for a single transaction type, four transaction journals are created.

The table specifies the records that are created based on the sections filled.
