A default account is the expense account a supplier's bills are coded to unless someone changes it. It saves time on repeat suppliers. What is chart of accounts?
The Kinetic way
Where to find it: Supplier Maintenance (GL control and supplier-specific control code)
- Open Supplier Maintenance
- Set payment terms and tax liability
- Create a supplier-specific GL control code that points to the expense account and use it for that supplier's invoice lines
Limits in Kinetic
- It works for all invoice lines of that supplier.
Words Kinetic uses
- Tax Liability. A rule for how tax applies to a supplier or transaction.
The Pulsify way
- Forward the supplier's invoice to your Pulsify address or upload it. Pulsify reads every line and finds the supplier in Kinetic.
- Pulsify suggests an account for each line from how that supplier was coded on past bills in Kinetic.
- Correct a suggestion when it is wrong. Later bills for that supplier follow the pattern.
- Approve. The AP invoice is created in Kinetic.

What Pulsify does not do here
- There is no setting in Pulsify to fix a default account for a supplier. It learns from past bills.
- A default set on the supplier in Kinetic stays in Kinetic.
Common mistakes
- Using a control code for a supplier whose lines post to different accounts.
- Creating the control code without pointing it at the expense account.

Common questions
Can I set a default GL account for a supplier?
Create a supplier-specific GL control code that points to the expense account. Check the exact menu path in your version.
What else do I set in Supplier Maintenance?
Payment terms and tax liability.
Does it suit a supplier with many expense accounts?
It works for all invoice lines of that supplier, so it suits suppliers that always post to one account.
