Using G/L lines You can directly report the amounts to Revenue accounts.
For example if You have just one Revenue type and all goes to the same G/L Account, then You can use this.
If You have different revenue types - items/services/service types - You can indicate different g/l accounts for each line.

This is a basic method to register Sales Invoices. Alternatives to this if is You use Inventory and have item cards, or use Projects (Jobs) section and/or have Resource cards created - this way it reduces risks for users to choose wrong G/L account, and they choose item/resource card instead, and system will post the revenue to the correct Revenue account based on General Posting Setups and register VAT amounts based on VAT Posting Setup.

There are multiple purpose to use G/L account in Sales Invoice.

1. You can directly report the amounts to Revenue accounts.

2. in case you want to issue invoice for certain expense which you have paid onbehalf of customer.

3. in case you have given a service and for that you want to raise normal invoice then.

A part of above there are more area for which you can user G/L account in sales invoice.

Also, in case you do not manage inventory in system, you are manage Finance Transaction in system then you have to use G/L account for booking revenue.

Hope you got an idea about usage of G/L account in sales invoice.
