3. Enter a Name and Description for the GL Account.
4. Select the account type: Debit or Credit.

5. If you want this GL Account to be applicable to a specific organization, enter the organization in the Organization field. This field links to the Organizations service.
6. Confirm that the Active option is selected. The system only uses Active GL accounts. If you want to temporarily disable a GL Account, clear the Active option.
7. Select the Default A/R Account option if you want to designate this account as the default Accounts Receivable (A/R) account.
   • Each system can have only one default A/R Account. The default A/R account is used for any product, tax, or shipping charge that does not specify an A/R account.
      
8. Enter a currency in the Currency Type field.
   • This is the currency in which you expect this GL account to be typically expressed. Note that this option does not limit a particular account to a single Currency Type. Generally, this currency matches the specified organization's Functional Currency.
