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). This account will be used as the default account to record inventory adjustments, unless otherwise changed on the adjustment page. In an adjustment, a debit or credit will be issued to the inventory asset account and an offsetting entry will be issued to the adjustment account. This is normally the Inventory shrinkage account in QuickBooks Online. If you do not have an Inventory shrinkage account in QuickBooks Online, you will need to create one in the chart of accounts.
