Enter the general ledger account number to use for this purchase. For example, if this check was written at an office supply store, you would enter the office supply expense account ID here. If you enter an item number, the G/L account defaults from the inventory account you entered for the item in the Inventory Items selection of the Maintain menu. If you do not select an inventory item, it defaults to the vendor's default G/L expense account.
To change the account ID, type ? in this field, or select the Lookup button. To add a new account, type + or double-click the field, which displays the Maintain Chart of Accounts window.
Note: If you have the Hide General Ledger Accounts global option activated, Sage 50 will not display G/L account fields in this window. To modify G/L accounts used for this transaction, you must select the Journal button.
