Journal Entry for Sales/Purchase Invoice

ERPNext Accounting
1

In the link for accounting in user manual (https://frappe.github.io/erpnext/user/manual/en/accounts/journal-entry)
It says:
Payment done by the customer before accepting delivery of the product is an Advance Payment. For Orders of high value, the business houses expect to receive advance.

I know it’s more about accounting thing but I cannot understand why Sales/Purchase invoice should not be kept in the Journal Entry and it was there in V6.

Thanks in advance for any of your suggestions.

Hi @Jitendra_Khatri1

I am not using demo.erpnext.com but I am using the latest release in v7.
The system behaves exactly the same as the user manual.
My question is why Sales/Purchase invoice should not be kept in the Journal Entry?

Regards,
Jian

In V7, payment for invoices are done via payment entry by default. But you can still book the payment via journal entry manually. Payment entry in V7 offers simplified process of payment for.users who even don"t understand debit and credit…
