I am trying to work on default GL Accounts for Vendors. I know I can use recurring line items as one option, but i was trying to see if I could do the same using the General Business Posting Group. In this case the customer does not run inventory or use items. All entries are done by GL account. Our thought is that the purchases account defined under General Posting Setup would default on the screen.
1. In testing we used the Cronus, USA company.
2. We assigned an "OFFICE" general business posting group and "DOMESTIC" vendor posting group to the Fabrikam vendor.
3. Then under general posting setup, we still had to combine the Business Posting Group with a Product Posting Group
4. The OFFICE Business Posting Group was combined with a "DOMESTIC" Product Posting group and pointed to an Office Supplies GL account for purchases.
In testing using the "G/L Account" line type we were unable to get the account to default, and still had to make the selection. We were able to get the account to default by tying it to a SERVICES general product posting group, but that defeats the purpose of just entering and defaulting by GL account. That said, is there a way out of the box to get the GL account to default, using the G/L Account line type combined with the General Business Posting Group?
Please advise. Look forward to a response.
