Is there a way to set the Income Statement accounts to make the Profit Center and Cost Center fields mandatory when entering a Journal Entry, PO, etc.? And the Balance Sheet accounts not allow the Profit Center and Cost Center fields to be filled in, they must remain blank for any type of entry.

If the Profit Center and Cost Center fields are set up as dimensions in your company, you can use dimension restrictions. Here’s how:

Go to the Chart of Accounts page.

Select a GL Account and click on 'Dimensions - Single.'

Add an entry where the Dimension Code is either the Profit Center or Cost Center dimension.

For balance sheet accounts, select 'No Code' in the Value Posting field. For income statement accounts, select 'Code Mandatory' in the Value Posting field.

Perfect, thank you Valentin. Can you do a mass update on this or do I have to go account by account?

You can do a mass update by selecting multiple G/L Accounts instead of one, and then clicking on 'Dimensions-Multiple'. Alternatively, you can use configuration packages to update the dimension requirements table.
