    Yes, this is a standard behavior.

    RE: How to update the account in account distribution

    Hi Hello World,

    Why do you want to update an account in the accounting distribution?

    From the line section you can actually do that and change the account if you like.

    Even though this is possible, as an accountant, I really hate that.

    Why?

    Because we have the posting profiles that Tian Tan shared and everything should be specified there.

    Otherwise you run the risk that your accounts end up in a mess because everybody is posting transactions differently.

    That's not a good practice and makes an account analysis difficult.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Tian,

    I appreciate your support.

    According to my exploration, i found only the account of item couldn't be updated, others such as category, charge could be updated.

    Is this standard behavior?

    Hi,

    I mistook Distribute amounts for View distributions.

    Distribute amounts – View and modify the accounting distributions for an individual line and any child lines, such as taxes or charges. You can also view and modify the accounting distributions for the child line directly from the Sales tax transactions page or the Charges transactions page.

    Modify vendor invoice header amounts, such as charges or currency rounding amounts.

    Modify vendor invoice line amounts.

    You can check for more details in this URL:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../accounting-distributions-subledger-journal-entries-vendor-invoices

    Hope this time it will be good to you!

    Hi Tian,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am clicking the distribute amounts in line, instead of view distributions in head.

    Hi,

    About View distributions, I found this explanation.

    ** View distributions** – View the accounting distributions for the all lines and monetary amounts on the document. You can't modify the accounting distributions from this view.

    You can find more details in this URL:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../accounting-distributions

    Also, you can set the main account in Inventory management > Setup > Posting.

    You can set it by Group or by Table(Item).
