Hey all,

I’m still wrapping my head around control accounts and I think I have a good understanding as to what they are and their purpose, but I’m confused as to why Acumatica wants me to designate a control account to any of the GL Accounts on the stock items page. Because as far as I can tell this is then causing all transactions to be posted to that control account (instead of it being a summary of the subledgers)

For examples our inventory accounts right now are

Inventory (control account)
Inventory - Goods (subledger)
Inventory - Supplies (subledger)

I want the individual transactions in regards to the sales of goods to be recorded in the Inventory - Goods subledger but when I try to change it to that account Acumatica gives me a soft error that it needs to be a control account. Should I just ignore this? And if so how do we get the summaries to post to the control account?
Thanks!
