Can I post a journal entry to a customer or vendor?

In Zoho Books, Customers and Vendors are managed as Contacts, and all transactions related to them are handled within the Sales and Purchases modules. Therefore, it’s not necessary to create manual journal entries to record transactions for customers and vendors. However, if you need to record a transaction that doesn’t fit into the standard sales or purchase categories, you can create a manual journal entry.

Note:

Cash-based journals cannot be created for journal entries involving Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
To record payments for customer receivables or vendor payables, you must use a bill or an invoice. Payments cannot be recorded against manual journal entries created for such transactions.

Insight: To pass a journal for overseas customers, you need to select their currency in the Currency field so that the corresponding contact appears in the Contacts dropdown.
