The list of default GL Accounts for Items

This list includes all the default accounts that are used for items. You can choose to use the same default GL accounts for all items of each item type, or you can assign specific accounts to be used for particular type of items, or for particular items.

The GL accounts that will be used for any items of any item type are listed in the table's first row with no item description in the the Item column  column and no item type in the the Item Type column column. This is the predefined setting.

The GL accounts to be used for items of the particular item type are presented in a row with no specific item in the the Item column  column and this item type selected in the the Item Type column column

When you post a transaction associated with a particular item, the program will use the default accounts as follows:

1. From a specific set of accounts defined for this item if there is such a set.
2. From a specific set of accounts defined for the item group to which the item belongs if there is such a set.
3. From a specific set of accounts defined for a item type to which the item belongs if there is such a set.
4. From the default set of default accounts initially intended for all items.

The toolbar buttons

To create a new setting, click the Create button. For details on specifying default GL accounts for particular items or item types, refer to Adding an Item. Default GL Accounts.
