Transaction Journal Records in Accounting Subledger

The Transaction Journal object is the core of Accounting Subledger. It stores your financial transactions in a format optimized for export to your accounting system.

Note Starting in March 2023, Salesforce offers Accounting Subledger built on the core Salesforce platform. This article provides information about that product. For information about the managed packaged version of Accounting Subledger, see Accounting Subledger Legacy Documentation. If you're not sure which version your institution uses, check with your Salesforce administrator.

• Transaction Journal Fields in Accounting Subledger
  The Transaction Journal object includes multiple fields to help you understand the generated data related to your financial transactions. Accounting Subledger creates transaction journal records automatically for new or changed CRM financial records (sometimes called source records in this documentation).
• Source Records Eligibility
  Accounting Subledger applies eligibility criteria to select source records to process.
• Accounting States and Data Generation
  Accounting Subledger considers the accounting state of your source data when generating transaction journal records.
• Debits and Credits
  Accounting Subledger follows specific definitions to determine debit and credit amount types.
• GL Codes
  In an accounting system, each line in a general ledger is assigned an account or a fund account. The GL Code field on the Transaction Journal object identifies each account. We assign GL codes based on accounting set fields.
• Revenues and Expenses
  After the Accounting Subledger job runs, it generates debit and credit entries differently for revenues and expenses.

  Configure your own page layout for the Transaction Journal object to best fit your users' needs, and assign them to your user profiles.
