Why are some invoices posting to Accounts Receivable and other invoices are posting to Accounts Receivable Other?

Two a/r accounts were set up in our chart of accounts...Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable Other.  Some invoices are posting to Accounts Receivable and some are posting to Accounts Receivable Other.  We only want one A/R account.  Can this fixed?
