I'm surprised I'm asking this because I have always been an advocate of limiting control accounts (AR & AP) to "only one". But I now am in an organization with 3 checking accounts for different parts of the organization, and each could likely have and AR and AP account specifically for that part. Right now, there is one AR and AP account, and since I will be restructuring the GL I am wondering about creating a "global" AR and AP, each with sub-accounts for transactions specifically for that part of the organization. As sub-accounts, the totals would roll-up into the grand total, but allow for visibility into each unit (part) of the total organization.
So here is a question: in Customer Center, if I choose Create Invoices, am I able to direct which AR account the invoice total should go to? I don't see an option (like when doing checks we can select which bank account we want to use) to select a AR account. There is a selection option in AP, but not in AR. Does anyone else have more than one AR account? And if so, how do you select which one you want impacted by a transaction (invoice) entered?
I am open for comments, suggestions, watch-outs, etc. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
