Definition: What is it?

A journal is a detailed accounting transaction that is recorded (or posted) to the General Ledger. It is made up of a debit and a credit component.

NOTE: By default in OFBIZ a journal called 'ERROR_JOURNAL' is created as part of the demo data installation.This 'ERROR_JOURNAL' is referenced in the Accounting Preferences setup for Company.

 What is it used for?

The 'ERROR_JOURNAL' is used to store details of any transaction that fails and cannot be posted to a general ledger account.

Transactions falling into error can be as the result of incomplete setup or an invalid transaction (eg a transaction that should never occur).

TO CHECK: Other uses for journals???
