Notes:
- To verify the default accounts, follow these steps:
- Select Company Settings, AR Settings.
- Click GL Settings and then click Balance Sheet Accounts or Misc Accounts or Revenue Accounts.
- The retainage account is affected only if you adjust the retainage amount.
- NSF adjustments debit the NSF bank charges account (File, Company Settings, AR Settings, GL Settings, Misc Accounts) if you enter an NSF bank charge when you adjust the cash receipt.
- Refunds do not reduce the cash account. Refer to the Accounts Receivable Help topic, "About Refunds" for more information.
