How to Set Up Default Offset Accounts for Vendors

For many non-purchase order vendors, invoices generally need to post to the same expense accounts every time an invoice is entered into Microsoft Dynamics AX. The Vendor ‘Default account’ functionality allows the AX user to specify GL accounts that are associated with a vendor as well as to indicate which, if any, of these should be the default account. This functionality reduces data entry errors as well as facilitates data entry as the user does not search for or determine the appropriate GL account offset.

Set up Vendor default accounts:

1. Go to Accounts payable -> Common -> Vendors -> All vendors

2. Highlight the Vendor record that the default accounts will be set up for.

3. Click on the Invoice tab -> Set up -> Default account
