This article explains why Partner Community and Customer Community Plus users in a Salesforce Loyalty Management org cannot view Transaction Journal [TransactionJournal] records in Experience Cloud and why standard loyalty actions fail for these users. Customers describe this as: "A Partner Community user cannot see transaction journal records, it has all permission" and "I have granted the loyalty management permission set to the Partner Community profile but when I click on the standard Adjust Points button I receive the error: 'We couldn't retrieve the list of adjustment categories. Try again or ask your Salesforce admin for help.'"
Internal users with the same Loyalty Program Member [LoyaltyProgramMember] record can see the same Transaction Journals without issue. The behavior occurs because Experience Cloud users run in their own security context and require explicit object permissions, field-level security, sharing access, and Apex class access on top of the Loyalty Management permission set.
This affects orgs on Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions using the Partner Community, Partner Community Login, Customer Community Plus, or Customer Community Plus Login licenses with Loyalty Management installed.
Apply the following configuration to the affected community profile or a permission set assigned to the external user.
Confirm the issue is resolved by logging in as the Partner Community user via Setup > Users > [User] > Login, opening the Loyalty Program Member record in the Experience Cloud site, verifying the Transaction Journal related list shows the same records visible in internal Salesforce, clicking Adjust Points and confirming the adjustment category picklist loads, and submitting a test pay-by-points screen flow to confirm a new Transaction Journal record is created and processed.
