Large Journals Overview

Accounting allows you to create journals with up to 9,980 lines.

Journals with up to 1,000 lines can be posted immediately and synchronously, and journals with up to 9,980 lines can be queued and posted asynchronously in batches using the Background Posting Scheduler.

Warnings:

The maximum number of journal lines that can be supported will depend on the version of Salesforce being used and the other FinancialForce Accounting features that are enabled, such as intercompany accounts, Primary (Live) Update balance type, and reconciliation histories. We recommend using the Primary (On Demand) Update balance type when using large journals. For more information, see About Balance Update.

If a local chart of accounts structure is enabled, the maximum number of journal lines is 4,990.

For more information about journals, see What is a Journal?
