How do you add default expense accounts to suppliers so they appear automatically when add their invoices?

I have added default accounts to the records of several suppliers but when I download invoices from these suppliers the default accounts do not appear.

Hello Planned2perfection, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

What you need to do is set the account up in the Chart of Accounts so it is accounting>chart of accounts> new > fill all the information in> save and close and then add them on the supplier details.

Thank you Ashleigh1,

 

I have an account in Chart of Accounts called "Professional Fees".

 

I have added this as the Default Expense Account to the Supplier Information of several suppliers.

 

However, when I receive an invoice from any of the suppliers and process it by uploading on the Transactions/Receipts page the Professional Fees category does not appear by default in the Account/Category field.  Usually a random account appears and sometimes no account appears.  I then have to assign it to Professional Fees manually.

 

I hope this makes sense and I look forward to your thoughts.

Thanks for getting back to us planned2perfection, does the correct default account show when entering a transaction manually after selecting the supplier, is the issue specific to uploading receipts?
