I'm not seeing this happening.
@JoeMurray [pointed out](https://chat.civicrm.org/civicrm/pl/zs556c7xqjdtjciry8qnipw7rc) that *There's a setting in CiviContribute Compnent Settings now which iirc disables this by default.*
And @eileen suggested that the default should be the other way around.
But even with this turned ON, the trxn is not created.
```bash
# Set this to a contact that exists:
CID=202
cv api Order.create financial_type_id=Donation contact_id=$CID contribution_status_id=Pending \
total_amount=30 receive_date=2020-05-29\ 15:30:00
```
At this point we would expect (according to my understanding) to see:
- ✔ 1 contribution record.
- ✔ 1 line item: directly linked to the contribution.
- ✔ 1 financial item, linked to the line item, which specifies the CREDIT financial account (*Donation*) and status 3 (pending).
- ✖ 1 financial trxn:
- `from_account` (the CREDIT): The revenue (income) account for the *Donation* financial type.
- `to_account` (the DEBIT): Accounts Receiveable
- ✖ related entity financial trxn records
Without this we end up with bookkeeping problems:
- all financial trxns come *from* Accounts Recievable, but there's nothing going *to* Accounts Receivable.
- there are no bookkeeping transactions for the revenue accounts.
- So you get info like "some money went into your bank" but not "a donation went into your bank".JoeMurrayJoeMurray
