How do I define override accounts for AR invoices?

When Connect invoices a customer for job costs, Connect will use the revenue and receivables account that have been assigned to the Accounts Receivable category. That is, unless you want to record amounts for revenue and receivables that are tied to the job you are invoicing in a different GL account. In this situation, you would want to change the job properties to include an override revenue and receivables account. When Connect creates invoices for a customer with job costs, it will use the override accounts that are saved in the job properties in Project Accounting instead of using the accounts that are saved in the Accounts Receivable category.

Looking up a category

Connect stores categories in Accounts Receivable. You can find the default GL accounts on a category on the GL Accounts tab in the Category table (Accounts Receivable > Organization > Categories). If you leave the override accounts on a job blank, Connect will use the GL accounts from the category that is assigned to the job.
