General Business Posting Groups for Expense Accounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by john.ellis 3,510

Hi:

The end user will be entering her A/P invoices within the Purchase Journal and not the line item Purchase Invoice.

We need to set up General Business Posting Groups, for debits to purchase expense accounts.

Of course, the chart of accounts contains dozens of expense accounts.

So, how do we get around having to create dozens of General Business Posting Groups?

Thanks!

John

    You do not need individual General Business Posting Groups for each expense account.

    You can use the same  General Business Posting Group for many expense account. In some scenarios you can have the same General Business Posting Group for all of them.

    You do not need general business posting groups just to post invoices with the purchase journal. You will enter the general ledger accounts on line one through x and balance with a vendor line.

    If your setup is requiring a GBPG, setup one, called EXPENSE. Put in on all accounts in your chart of account and proceed.
