R12 Payables - Hierarchy in which liability account defautls

Hierarchy in which liability account defaults in Oracle Payables

1. Financial Options
2. Supplier
3. Invoice

First the system would look at the accounting details tab of the supplier definition for liability account. If a value is defined for liability account;then this value has precedence to the one provided at financial options.

So when creating an invoice once the supplier(Trading Partner)name is specified the system would look in to the accounting tab of supplier definition. If nothing is specified here, the system would pick the value provided in financial options. Please note that The account provided in financial options would automatically be populated in the suppliers accounting tab; but this can be overridden;

Also note that the one provided at suppliers accounting tab defaults to the invoice created for this supplier but this can be overriden. Only this is you have to select in the menu Folder>Show Field>Liability Account; once the liability account is displayed change liability account that is getting defaulted.
