Saved posting-account defaults can prefill new manual bill lines. They speed preparation, but they do not remove the need to review each charge. Open the bill's posting accounts and compare the selected expense account with the source description.
Native bill lines use supported Expense, Cost of Goods Sold or Other Expense accounts. A catalog item can retain its own account rather than adopting a general manual-line default. Check the visible selection after choosing an item or adding a manual line.
If a default is unsuitable for a recurring type of charge, review the defaults through the available company controls. Do not assume that changing a default retroactively changes already saved documents or the accounting history of issued bills.
For the bill currently being prepared, save any mapping changes before preparing issuance. The workflow reviews saved terms, and an unsaved selection is not the evidence an authorized poster will approve. After issuance, use the supported source-owned correction process instead of trying to rewrite a posted bill's original mapping.
