Using this option it is possible to set up default Nominal Ledger codes to be used when posting to a particular Purchase Ledger account. The key to the record is the Purchase Ledger account code. When an account has been specified, the batch input postings form is displayed, and you are able to enter any default fields as required, including:
Nominal Ledger codes
Suffixes
Narratives
VAT codes
Amounts
In this way, if the invoices for a particular supplier always go to the same codes, and/or for similar amounts, these can be entered in a template to prevent re-keying them over and over again. These default posting parameters are then offered as an option when using the Batch input routine for that particular account. Be aware that default postings are NOT mandatory, once set up, you can select No when prompted "Do you require VSB postings".
To enter a default posting:
From the Autoline Master menu select the Purchase Ledger option and the company you require.
The PURCHASE LEDGER menu is displayed.
Select Miscellaneous options.
The PL MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu is displayed.
Select the Default postings option.
The Default postings form is displayed.
The Default Postings form is displayed when the Default postings option is selected from the PL MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu.
When the form is displayed, you must first enter the Purchase Ledger account to be used, using the 
button to search. When this is selected, the following buttons are available:
BUTTONS:
Cancel: Returns you to the PL MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu.
Help: Displays help on the current application using the default browser.
Create: By clicking this button, you are presented with a form that prompts you to enter the following:
FIELDS:
Account: The Nominal Ledger account code to which you want to set the default posting.
Suffix: The suffix (if required) to be added to the default posting. An
Narrative: This field is optional, in that it is soley for you to add some meaningful narrative (what the default posting relates to) if needs be.
VAT Code: The VAT code to be used in the default posting. This ideally should correspond to the PL account code's default VAT code.
Amount: The amount of the default posting. This is user-definable.
At this point, you can click the Save button, or the Cancel button. Save stores the posting line in a grid within the form, and then you can either add another line by clicking Create, or click the OK button to save the entire default posting.
There is also a button labelled Copy Fields. This is similar to that of Inserting NL Journals (hence is not discussed in detail within this topic), in that it allows you to save time by copying suffixes and narratives to blank fields, or delete suffixes and narratives if you desire.
