    General journals are typically used to record journal entries to the General ledger and Bank modules. The journal functionality is very powerful, allowing transactions to also be

    posted in Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, Projects,and Fixed assets.

    Hi Aman,

    General journals cannot be used for making payments.

    Different from an AP or AR payment journal, the function 'generate payment' is missing in GL journals.

    This does not mean that you can't post a payment voucher.

    Yet, the payment file or document - especially check and electronic payments - can't be made in GL journals.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
