V8 - Default account setting descriptions
When SOS Inventory needs to post data to QuickBooks Online, it posts to the accounts associated with each item. If the accounts are not specified, SOS Inventory uses the default accounts specified on the settings pages. You should make sure that these accounts are set to the ones that you want, or your data might post to incorrect accounts in QuickBooks Online.
Default adjustment account. Found on the Inventory settings page (Settings menu > Inventory settings).
