    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"......

    Hope this info helps as well.

    Thanks.

    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.
