I keep forgetting to change the bank account when I enter AR payment. Is there a way to change the default bank account?

Reading the original post, I think the question was: is there a way to change the bank account on a payment document after that payment batch has been released? If this is what was being asked then the answer is, unfortunately, no. ARSETUP defines the default bank account to be used on the payment application screen. The payment application screen allows you to change the bank account by using the AR Account tab but you can only do that during data entry and cannot edit that after the batch is released. While you could change the account using a SQL query, that should only be done if the batch is not yet posted to GL. If you are using Cash Manager or Bank Recon, it is not recommended that you change the account using SQL without knowing the effects on those modules as well.
One option to consider under your circumstance, is to add a customization to the payment application screen (if you have Customization Manager) to clear the bank account field upon a new payment entry thereby forcing you to enter the correct bank account on each entry. This approach is rather harsh but it would address forgetting to change the bank account.
The other option is to explore why you are using more than one bank account for AR payments and change to using the same bank account for all payments.
Thanks!
Yes, this is done via the AR Setup screen.
