Implementation of Automatic Accounting Assignments
Invoices can be automatically assigned during the import of invoices according to the default accounting assignment. The default accounting assignment for purchase invoices means that the program automatically creates the last used accounting line for each supplier's invoice.
Implementing automatic accounting assignment requires making setting adjustments:
- Heeros Link in (Settings – Invoice Import)
- In purchase invoices in the supplier's registry information (Registries – Suppliers).

Default Accounting Assignment Settings in Purchase Invoices
Registers – Suppliers
- Go to the Registers – Suppliers view
- Click on the name of the supplier for whom the default accounting assignment is defined
- Navigate to the Comments tab for that supplier
Are default accounting assignments created during invoice import?
If it has been selected in Heeros Link settings to create default accounting assignments per supplier (Link: Settings – Import of Invoices; Default booking after importing invoices – By Supplier), select in the supplier register whether default accounting assignments are offered for that supplier during invoice import.
Yes – the default accounting assignment for the invoices from that vendor will be activated.
No – no accounting line will be created.
The supplier-specific setting does not affect other default accounting assignment creation option selections in Heeros Link.
You can select multiple accounts as default for the supplier. The supplier register always shows the five most recently used cost accounts, and the accounting line is always created from the top one. If no cost account has been defined for the supplier, it will be automatically created during the first accounting entry, provided that the option (Settings – General – postings) is selected Default Accounting Assignments – Saved. The cost account can be modified if necessary in the supplier's information (Registers – Suppliers – comments tab).
NOTE! The default accounting assignment is automatically saved to the supplier's information when the invoice from that supplier is accounted, provided that the Saved option is enabled in the general settings (Settings – General – Accounting tab: Default accounting assignments – Saved).
Additionally, the default cost unit and accounting objects are automatically saved to the supplier's information when the corresponding supplier's invoice is accounted, if the Save option in the general settings is enabled (Settings – General – Accounting -tab: Default Accounting Items - Save).
Without a saving setting, immutable, static default values of the supplier are used in the formation of accounting assignments. The default account, cost unit, and accounting objects must then be added to the supplier manually in the registry.
Default Cost Unit and Accounting Objects
Supplier information can also define the default cost unit and default accounting objects, which will be used for default accounting assignment.
- Go to the Registers – Suppliers view
- Click on the name of the supplier for whom the default cost unit and accounting objects are defined
- Navigate to the comments tab of that supplier
Default Cost Unit
Select the default cost unit to be used for this supplier from the field dropdown menu.
NOTE! Cost units must be set up in the registers first (Registers – Cost Units).
Default Accounting Items
The number of levels established in general settings (Settings – General – Accounting Assignments tab), determines what default accounting item levels and their types are visible in the vendor register. Select the default accounting items to be used for this vendor from the dropdown menus of the fields. Accounting items must always be created first in the registers (Registers – Accounting Items).
NOTE! If no cost unit or accounting object has been defined for the supplier, they will be created automatically during the first accounting assignment, provided that in the general settings (Settings – General – Accounting Assignments) the option Default Accounting Items – Saved. Cost units and accounting objects can be edited if necessary in the supplier's information (Registers – Suppliers – Additional Information tab).
Deletion of Default Accounting Assignment Information
Default accounting assignment can be removed from the vendor settings:
- Go to the Registers – Suppliers view
- Click on the name of the supplier from whom the default accounting assignment is to be removed
- Navigate to the Comments tab for that supplier
Cost units – Remove unnecessary cost units from that supplier by clicking the checkmark at the end of the cost unit to be deleted.
Default Cost Unit – Clear the data in the corresponding field by clicking on the field's dropdown menu and selecting the empty option.
Default Accounting Items – Clear the information in the specified field by clicking on the field's drop-down menu and selecting the blank option.
Finally, save the information by clicking the Save button.
Default accounting assignment information in supplier settings can also be edited in the registry management using CSV export and import.
