    Hi,

    Deferred expenses are those that have been paid (for example in december 2017) but that won't be reported as an expense until a future accounting period (for example january 2017)

    Accrued expenses are those that have not been paid but that have already been recorded as expense.

    Please note that you might find different terminologies in different country environments / accounting standards.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    to the setup question:

    Posting into the ledger account set for deferred expenses are usually selected on the AP transaction recording the invoice/payment

    Posting into accrued expenses will typically happen using general journal, as part of month end process

    So unless you are using accrual schemes functionality to remove from deferred expenses or add into accrued expenses you will not "setup" these accounts anywhere.
