CustomerAccountJournal

Entity Definition

Logical Name : CustomerAccountJournal
Physical Name : JL_CT_ACNT_JR

A journal that captures transaction-level changes to customer account balances. The balance values may represent monetary and/or non-monetary units of measure. For example customer purchases and returns may be reflected in monetary terms and in unit count terms. Additionally, non-monetary units like points, miles and other volume-oriented activity measures may be used to aggregate customer activity levels for the purpose of deriving discounts that reduce the out of pocket monetary price based on customer purchase volume (i.e. buy more, save more). The CustomerAccountJournal is a generalized entity type that may be used to support different kinds of customer account-level reporting. As modeled it is intended to allow a retailer to use a common entity structure to support different kinds of CustomerAccountLedgers and dependent CustomerAccountJournal entries.
