    As long as you have acquired  the needed database space there is no real limit.

    But I would not recommend having as large journal as this because it will take a very long time to post them, and if there are an error in your journal it will take a long time to roll back the posting.

    So I would recommend you split it in to smaler chucks and process posting in smaller batch.

    Typically I would not have more than around 10000-15000 lines in a journal before i posted it. And I would really aim for lower numbers if i could.

    When it comes to posted transactions I would not worry about the number of records.  The system is able to handle lots of transaction, but you have to chose a good approach if you have a lot of lines you need to post.

    Hi, As far as I know, theoretically there is no upper limit, but I'm not sure if SaaS can support posting 300,000 lines at once.

    The following is the data given by Microsoft in a lecture last year, please note "3300 lines on one sales order"......
