What Pulsify does not do here
- There is no setting in Pulsify to fix a default account for a vendor. It learns from past bills.
- A default set on the vendor in MYOB Acumatica stays in MYOB Acumatica.
Common mistakes
- Setting the default on the vendor but not on the location that the bills use.
- Using one default for a vendor that sells many things, so lines get the wrong expense account unless someone checks.

Common questions
Where do I set a default account for a vendor?
Open the vendor on Vendors (AP303000), go to Locations and set the expense account, tax zone and terms on the location.
Do the defaults change old bills?
The help describes defaults for new bills for that vendor. It does not say old bills change, so recode those yourself.
What else sits on the location?
The tax zone and terms sit there next to the expense account, so one visit sets all three.
Does Pulsify let me set a default account?
Not as a setting. Pulsify learns each supplier's coding from past bills in your accounting system and suggests an account for every line.
