Accounts Subtask

Use the Accounts subtask to distribute the purchase order line's charge to a single or multiple Project/Account/Organization combinations.

If you entered Project, Account, Organization and abbreviation information in the Accounting Defaults tab and elected to have the information default for all PO lines, this information defaults into this subtask.

Use this subtask whenever a purchase order line is added to the purchase order, and maintain it when modifications are needed to that purchase order line's account allocation.
