Is the only way to directly post to control accounts done via a journal and picking a GL account to post to? Is there any means in doing this via invoices? I know there is an option to choose GL account from the dropdown within Invoicing but I am not sure around that.

Also, when importing transactions what is the process in which these post to control accounts?

    RE: Posting to Control Accounts / Import Transactions Posting to Control Accounts

    Hello,

    Control Accounts, like Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Bank Accounts, Inventory (items), Fixed Assets have the related Posting Group setup that points to the Control Accounts in the GL Chart of Accounts. These accounts can turn-off Direct Posting, forcing entries to only come from Documents (Sales, Purchase, etc...). Leaving Direct Posting on you can post via a Journal.

    Not sure how you are importing but I will try to give an example.... If I was Copy/Paste into a Sales, Purchase or Journal my G/L Account No. will define the account to Post too. If I am entering an Item, this will auto pull the Inventory Posting Group Control account. Remember that the Customer and Vendor on the Document will auto-define the Control Account AR and AP. If I am using a Configuration Package to a Table like 81, or Sales Line or Purchase Lines, the same rule applies if I am copying. Items will use the Inventory Posting Group control account.

    I hope this helps but if not please explain more what you are looking to do.

    Thanks,

    Steve
