Broken bookkeeping records: no financial trxn from Accounts Receivable to revenue account.

According to the docs, when a Pending Order is created it's supposed to create a financial trxn transferring the total sum to accounts receivable. I'm not seeing this happening.

@JoeMurray pointed out 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.

# 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".
