Default expense account on Vendor

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Dear all, 

We are using Business Central and for some of our Vendors, the G/L expense account (or Item) is always the same.

Is it possible to setup a default expense account for a vendor ?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Alex

    Hi,

    The only way I know to achieve this is via "Recurring Purchase Lines"

    You can add default GLs or Items:

    You then assign to the Vendors

    And then you can use them when entering transactions

    Maybe someone else in the community knows a better way to do this though.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks

    You could also consider using blanket purchase orders for this scenario.
