To set up the default or most common General Ledger accounts for each item class in inventory, select the GL Accounts/Costing tab in the Inventory Item Defaults window. When entering a new inventory item, the default accounts are automatically filled in for you. This speeds up the process of entering new items.
You can change any of these defaults when entering each item (in Maintain Inventory Items), if necessary.
Note that some items are gray and inaccessible. For example, you cannot enter general ledger accounts for Description Only items because no accounting is entered or tracked for this item class. You can enter costing methods only for stock, assembly, and master stock items since Sage 50 tracks costing for only these item classes.
