Types of transactions excluded from a journal run

Transactions that only adjust or move amounts between applied and unapplied states between Payment/Credit memo's applied an unapplied states without altering the balance are excluded from the journal run.

Note:

This condition is also applicable to the Credit Memo Application Items.

Sample use case

Consider the payment P-00000003 as an example, applied to INV-00000005, which has two invoice items.

  • 2024-04-21 P-00000003 created with 10$unapplied amount.
  • 2024-04-21 P-00000003 applied to INV-00000005, which has two invoice items
    • The payment application with ID 8a368aeb8f00478f018f01469e545f5d and the amount of -10$ reduces the payment balance after it is fully applied.
    • The journal run or trial balance run will exclude payment application item 8a368aeb8f00478f018f01469e545f5d as it is a balance adjustment without impacting Finance.
  • 2024-05-09 P-00000003 unapplied from INV-00000005
    • The payment application with ID 8a3694f18f4d3ea5018f5de45£797664 and the amount of 10$ increases the payment balance after it is fully unapplied.
    • The journal run or trial balance run will exclude payment application item 8a3694f18f4d3ea5018f5de45£797664 as it is a balance adjustment without impacting Finance.
