Payment journals
Which journal receives cash-on-delivery payments and which receives online payments.
Why separate journals
Cash-on-delivery money arrives via the shipping company; online payment money arrives via the payment gateway. Separating the journals is what makes bank reconciliation possible at all.
A COD journal per shipping company
You can set a different journal for each shipping company, which is what you want if each one settles with you on a different schedule.
An online journal per payment method
The same for online payment methods: Mada, Apple Pay, or others — each can have its own journal if you want.
Sales journals
Separately, you can choose the sales journal the invoice is recorded in, for cash-on-delivery and for online payment orders.
An unset journal stops payment
If no journal is set for a payment method that is actually used, the payment step fails and shows up in Pay Invoice errors.
