Default Vendor Posting Accounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 504

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.

    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.

    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.
