AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To change your default receivables and payables control accounts, you can do so by setting the account on the vendor record. However, it's important to note that if you want to use native aging reports, you must use Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) account types. If you have already posted transactions to an account and want to change its type, for example, from an Accounts Payable account to an Other Current Liability account, the recommended approach is to create new GL accounts and journal some money around. This is less hassle and avoids potential issues such as forked bank reconciliations and unapplied customer/vendor payments. Remember, if you're changing the account type shortly after go-live and there's not a lot of volume to deal with, it's often easier to fix. It's also a good practice to include this as a checklist item to catch early on. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
