New to GP and wondering if ours is setup incorrectly. On the trans entry screen you only have option to do one purchase, discount, Freight, Misc, and Tax. What happens when you have more than one (multiple) purchase accounts? IE a credit card bill?

Hi Michelle, 
If you are talking about the payables transaction entry screen, there is a distributions button in the bottom right. You should just be able to click the button and tab to the next empty account slot and type the account number you are looking to distribute to. I have not found a limit on the accounts you can add to distribute to.

Thanks so much Matt, that totally worked! Now I just have to see if I can create a re-occurring batch for all my monthly auto withdrawn AP payments to make my life less complicated.

You definitely can do recurring batches! just change the frequency drop down on the batch screen to whichever cadence you require.

be careful with them though, it’s easy to accidentally post them multiple times. Also, they are really built for things like rent payments that do not change month over month. My old company tried to use that function for a monthly bill that fluctuated in the amount and distribution and it was a nightmare to audit.

Thanks for the advice. I have not had good luck with recurring general journal entries from my predecessor, I had the same issue with them posting multiple times. I decided to try to start over in 2022 to see if I would have any different results.

Hi Michelle, 

Not quite recurring setup, but you can set up default GL codes on the vendor card, so when you create a transaction for a specific vendor it will auto fill out the GLs you have set up as the default, you’ll just need to allocate amounts for each GL.

I use Monthly Recurring batches to process the monthly employee insurance benefits invoices.  Some are single distribution.  But two are 10+ lines of distribution.  And the amounts are mostly the same..  As cautioned, be sure to post only the ONCE in the time period selected.
