    Hi Dharma,

    Accounting point of view every transaction has debit and credit entry. So each account works as an offset to other account.

    Example: If we take vendor invoice transaction:

    Debit: Ledger

    Credit: Vendor

    In the journal if we select vendor as account, ledger will act as offset account.

    Hi,

    The offset account is used in various journals like general journals,  AP and AR journals,  expense journals and inventory journals.

    Offset account is the account that offsets the account.

    If you want to post a transaction to balance in one line, You use offset accounts.

    Forexample,  You have a vendor payment. So you select your vendor and fill the amount. You do not need to create an additional line to the journal. You can select the bank account on the offset account field.
