Default Accounts Subtask

Use the Default Accounts subtask on the Manage Customer screen to enter default account information for transaction types.

You can select from accounts receivable, sales accounts, finance charge accounts, inventory, clearing accounts, and cash receipt A/R adjustment accounts. These accounts are used for posting non-project bills, cash receipts, and sales orders. The finance charge account is used to compute the finance charges.

If you do not complete the information for these accounts, Costpoint uses the accounts that are set up on the Configure Accounts Receivable Settings screen. If a project has been assigned to this customer, the project has its own revenue and receivable accounts that is used instead of the default customer accounts.
