Each journal can be associated with one or several transactions.
The journal "SALES" will be associated to document type "Sales Invoice".
Each time a sales invoice will be validated, the corresponding accounting entries will be registered in the sales journal.
It is also possible to add a condition for a specific transaction.
The journal "CREDIT NOTES" will also be associated to document type "Sales Invoice", with condition
doc.is_returnEverytime an invoice will be validated, it will be registered in the "SALES" journal and if it is a return/credit note it will be registered in the credit notes journal.
Conditions must have the form doc.{name of the field to validate} and must return a True/False value.
