Define Account Aliase

Optional

You may define one or more account aliases to use when you perform miscellaneous issue or receipt transactions. An account alias is a logical reference to a frequently used account number combination. It is also a transaction source type of its own, thereby allowing you to query and report transactions using your user-friendly references to particular account numbers.

Use the Account Aliases window to create General Ledger accounts for inventory account aliases. You must create an inventory account alias if you want to use a alias for that general ledger account in inventory transactions.
