Journal line
An individual debit or credit entry within a journal batch.
Definition
Each journal batch contains multiple lines — individual debits and credits that together represent the complete accounting transaction. Each line in AuditLease carries the chart of accounts reference, the amount, and traceability fields linking it to the source lease, calculation run, and schedule line.
Why it matters
Journal lines are the atomic unit of the accounting entries. Auditors trace journal lines back to calculation workings to verify that the entries are correct.
In AuditLease
Every journal line in AuditLease carries full traceability: lease ID, calculation run ID, and schedule line ID. This supports efficient audit verification.
