When entering multiple sales using the journal entry, items cannot be used. It is possible to enter multiple purchases and not multiple sales. The reason may be that the entry of items precedes the accounts. Please address this.
And we need to add Column — Discount in the journal entry too
The design philosophy of Manager was better explained in the old guides but still reflected in the new guides. Lets first look at the new guides:
https://www.manager.io/guides/journal-entries states:
The Journal Entries tab in Manager.io is designed for recording all accounting adjustments that do not fit into other tabs.
Purchases and Sales should be enabled using customize in tabs similar to bank and cash accounts. As such you would seldom use journal entries, as explained in the old guides:
https://www2.manager.io/guides/9820 specifically:
In Manager, most transactions are entered in other functional tabs, thereby automating many decisions about account posting and reducing errors. So journal entries are relatively few. Most record transfers between accounts.
However compared to these guides newer versions do allow as explained earlier for corrections in any transaction including payments and receipts using journal entries but should still be used sparingly.
I know all you’ve said now. But you mentioned something that’s easy to fix. Why am I recording 280 transactions as accrued revenue when I can record it in one transaction. And it’s very very very easy to fix.
I assume you are recording opening balance for customers. Doing so through Journal Entry is not the right way. The reasons are explained in the guide. Same goes for Suppliers.

I assume that you are a programmer and maybe you can volunteer this easy fix to @Lubos so we all can benefit.
I am not a programmer but I don’t see this modification as difficult or complicated. Frankly speaking it is an important modification. Rather it is not a modification but a fix. The choice is yours.
Thank you very much for your interest and feedback. I apologize for the inconvenience.
@shahabb gave you guidance about what to do to record 280 transaction as a single accrued revenue. Other than that it is not clear because Journal entries typically do not provide customer information for sales.
