Disclaimer: I'm a dev, not an accountant, but I have an accounting question as it relates to dev. I am automating write-offs of certain invoices. I create the JE, then create a new Payment record for the customer applying that JE to open Invoices, then save it. It doesn't actually end up creating a Payment record, but it does link the Invoice under "Related Records->Payments" back to the JE and close the Invoice. The problem is that on the JE itself, I cannot see what Invoices the JE has been applied to, as under "Related Records->Payments" is blank. My question is should the JE reflect what Invoices it has been applied to, or is this expected behavior? My gut says that if one record links to the other, then it should link in the reverse as well, but don't know if that's expected accounting behavior.

This is expected behavior. This is how it works when you do this manually in the UI as well

I saw that in the UI as well, just didn't know if we were doing something incorrect manually that was resulting in what I was seeing

Nope you are doing it right 👍

You could probably create a custom sublist saved search on journal page

@michoel that's not a bad idea. I'll suggest it to Finance to see if it'd be useful to them
