Hello all,

I’m stuck at a point where I want to select a cost code and Acumatica should automatically pick the mapped GL A/c code. How to do so?

Kindly share your suggestions.

Hi ​@Harry ,

Can you try below-

  1. If you want the GL account to default automatically on lines (such as AP Bills, Purchase Orders, or Time Activities):
    • Using Non-Stock Items: Link an Item/Expense item to a Posting Class where the Expense Account is predefined, and assign the default Cost Code / Account Group to the item.
    • Cost Code Mapping: In Cost Codes (PM209500), you specify descriptions and budgeting levels, but standard GL account defaulting usually pulls from:
      • The Non-Stock Item (Posting Class)
      • The Project / Project Task settings
      • The Vendor location defaults

Hope above helps!!
