is there a way to identify the control accounts so I can uncheck Allow Account Entry for just these accounts?

That's going to depend on what all modules you use. Cash accounts, Accounts Payable account, Accounts Receivable account, Inventory Account(s). If using POP, then do your Accrued Purchases account. If you are doing intercompany transactions, I would suggest doing it for your due to/from accounts. If using Fixed Assets then those as well. Those are the typical ones I've seen used. I'm sure there's others you could use too depending on what other modules you are using.

Hi,

Did Matt's response answer your question? It looked good to me, but we could give a more specific answer if we knew which modules you have deployed.

Kind regards,

Leslie

Hi Leslie, rather then just list the modules I'm using, why not list the control accounts for all GP modules so it can be used as a reference for all. I think myself and others would appreciate a list like this. I know this tip about unchecking allow account access comes up a lot so knowing which account would be very helpful Thanks!

If you're looking for a list of all the control accounts, I believe you can get them by choosing: Administration--Reports--Setup Reports--Posting Accounts

You can either choose which series you want or select all and get the entire list

Hello there

I would like to add up a link for a report which provides centralized view for all the account that are used as posting accounts, this would definitely help you manage your accounts Which are the Posting Accounts in my GP Company ! - SQL Script

Your feedback is highly appreciated,

This is good for GP guru's - but since the name states 'Learning GP', it's probably safer to run a canned report within GP. I'm using your SQL though - thanks!

I'm not looking for all posting accounts. What I'm trying to get at is, not every account needs to have the allow account access unchecked. I'm trying to get a list or guideline as to which accounts (generic name) should be unchecked. I like Matt answer as he listed specific account types; AP, Accrued Purchases, etc. I'm just looking for a more complete listing for all GP modules...if there is one. Thanks!

The posting accounts that have been assigned for all GP modules will show up on the report that I specified above. One report will give you everything that is assigned

The report I'm talking about is from Administration -> Reports -> Company Setup -> Posting Accounts. There is no option for 'Allow Account Entry'

This report ONLY shows what the default posting accounts are for each module/series. I'm on GP2015 - if you are on an older version, it may be labelled something different
