Default Vendor Posting Accounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,108

We are in the process of designing a demo company for Business Central.  one thing we've noticed is that we cannot assign a simple default purchasing account to the vendor.  This is very common in Dynamics GP and other domestic US based systems.  That said,

1)  Am I missing something or is the ability to assign a simple default purchases GL account not available in Business Central?

2)  If indeed the functionality is missing, is there anyone that has developed a suitable workaround?'

We are using Purchase Invoice and posting to GL Accounts.

Please advise.  Look forward to a response.

    On the Vendor Card there's the Vendor Posting Group field and if you navigate to the setup of this field you can specify the diferent G/L accounts to use.

    If you want to use documents (Purchase Quotes, Orders, Invoices) you can define "Recurring Purchase Lines" for a vendor.

    For the "Recurring Purchase Lines" code you can define different lines (of different types: items, G/L accounts, fixed assets …) and you can define if you want to get the lines suggested to a new document automatically or if you want to pull the "Recurring Purchase Lines" manually, using the "Get Recurring Purchase Lines" function in the document.
