# How to set default buying details for each supplier in MYOB AccountRight

In MYOB AccountRight, open the supplier card and click the Buying Details tab. Set the buying defaults and credit terms there. Tick Use Supplier's Tax Code if the supplier's tax status should override the item and account tax codes. You can change any default on each purchase.

A default account is the expense account a supplier's bills are coded to unless someone changes it. It saves time on repeat suppliers.

## Before you start

- Card File access

## The AccountRight way

Where to find it: Card File > Cards List > supplier card > Buying Details tab

1. Go to Card File > Cards List and open the supplier card.
2. Click the Buying Details tab.
3. Under Buying information set the defaults used on quotes, orders and bills for this supplier. Under Credit terms set the default terms.
4. Tick Use Supplier's Tax Code if the supplier's tax status should override the item and account tax codes.
5. Click OK.

## Limits in AccountRight

- Defaults can be overridden on each purchase.

## The Pulsify way

1. Forward the supplier's invoice to your Pulsify address or upload it. Pulsify reads every line and finds the supplier card in AccountRight.
2. Pulsify suggests an account for each line from how that supplier card was coded on past bills in AccountRight.
3. Correct a suggestion when it is wrong. Later bills for that supplier card follow the pattern.
4. Approve. The bill is created in AccountRight.

Pulsify connects to MYOB in one click. Approved bills are created in MYOB with the source file attached.

What Pulsify does not do here:

- There is no setting in Pulsify to fix a default account for a supplier card. It learns from past bills.
- A default set on the supplier card in AccountRight stays in AccountRight.

## Common mistakes

- Not ticking Use Supplier's Tax Code when the supplier's tax status should override the item and account codes.

## Common questions

### Where do I set a supplier's defaults in AccountRight?

### Can I change a default on a purchase?

Yes. Defaults can be overridden on each purchase.

Not as a setting. Pulsify learns each supplier's coding from past bills in your accounting system and suggests an account for every line.
