The journal line items for each journal entry should balance.\n\nA journal entry line item is a single transaction line on the journal entry. For example: \n\n- When a journal entry is recording a receipt of cash, the credit to accounts receivable and the debit to cash are separate line items. \n- When a company needs to recognise revenue from an annual contract on a monthly basis, on receipt of cash for month one, they make a debit to deferred income and a credit to revenue.\n\nIn Codat a journal entry contains details of:\n\n- The date on which the entry was created and posted.\n- Itemised lines, including amounts and currency.\n- A reference to the associated accounts.\n- A reference to the underlying record. For example, the invoice, bill, or other data type that triggered the posting of the journal entry to the general ledger. \n\n> **Pushing journal entries**  \n> Codat only supports journal entries in the base currency of the company that are pushed into accounts denominated in the same base currency."
