System Accounts

Overview

System accounts can be set at the global level, but can be overwritten at the item, project, or invoice level, if needed. You can create and set your own default system , tax, and bank  accounts in BQE CORE and then assign them in Settings . This helps you maintain your own Chart of Accounts numbering and hierarchy. CORE uses a combination of 5 digit-4 digit account numbers. Below is a list of System Accounts used in CORE.

Accounts can be set at the global level but overwritten at the item, project or invoice level, if needed. You can create and set your own default system, tax and bank accounts. This helps maintain your own chart of accounts numbering and hierarchy.

  • Accounts Receivable

    The default account you want to use for all your A/R transactions in CORE. All the receivables will be posted to this account, unless overwritten.
  • A/R Discount

    Default account for sales discounts given to clients on invoices. All the A/R transactions involving discounts are posted to this account. It can be an income or an expense account. If you select an income account here, CORE debits that account in case of discounts on invoices. If you select an expense account here, CORE credits the account for invoice discounts.
  • Retainer and Liability

    The default account you want to set for retainers and other liabilities in CORE. All the transactions involving retainers, pre-payments and related liabilities will be posted to this account, unless overwritten.
  • Un-deposited Funds

    The default account you want to set for payments received from clients that are not yet deposited. Typically, all un-deposited payments land in a default account called 'Un-Deposited Funds'. However, you can create and select your own account and have un-deposited payments be posted to that account instead.
  • Income

    Default income account set for service and expense items in CORE. It is affected only when your invoices have time and expenses (as line items). All the transactions involving income from these items are posted to this account.
  • Income for Late Fees

    Default income account set for late fees collected from delinquent clients (on outstanding invoices). This separate account can give you a more realistic view of your revenue breakdown.
  • Non-Itemized Service Income

    Default income account for invoices having service amount without service line items associated with them. Thus, it allows CORE to post income earned on activities or services to this account instead of treating it as uncategorized income or posting it to the default income account. This option affects the reports, especially profit and loss.
  • Non-Itemized Expense Income

    Default income account for invoices having expense amount without expense entry line items associated with them. Thus, it allows CORE to post income earned on such expenses to this account instead of treating it as uncategorized income or posting it to the default income account. This option affects the reports, especially profit and loss.
  • Expense

    Default expense account set for service and expense items in CORE. All the transactions involving expenses from these items are posted to this account.
  • Accounts Payable

    The default account you want to use for all your A/P transactions in CORE, such as vendor bills. All the payables will be posted to this account, unless overwritten.
  • A/P Discount

    Default account for expense discounts received on vendor bills from vendors. All the A/P transactions involving discounts are posted to this account. It can be an income or an expense account. If you select an income account here, CORE credits the account in case of discounts on vendor bills. If you select an expense account here, CORE debits the account for vendor bill discounts. Discounts that we receive on vendor bills follow the same G/L category as the vendor bills. So if it is a vendor bill for Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), the discount is also in COGS.
