Do you mean "Incoming Document Files" / "Attach File"?

Yes, you can, but result of this operation will be probably problematic:
During post routine system can create records in G/L Entry, Customer/Vendor Ledger Entries, VAT Entries, Bank Account Entries ... What are your imagines about attached documents?

For example, for those manual journals, such as accrual/ prepaid, they often driven by an Excel worksheet or email instructions. Can we create the manual journal either by batch or by line, but insert an attachment for review purposes?

You can create something which is called an Incoming Document based on a system file. The file used to create the Incoming Document is stored in the database "attached" to the Incoming Document

Then you can create the journal from the Incoming Document. It could be automated with some OCR services, or it could be a manual process. When you post the journal created from the Incoming Document NAV stores in ledgers the reference to it, so if you later review the G/L Entries created by posting the journal you have an option to see the original Incoming Document and the file stored against it.
