Is there a way to use an "Other Current Asset" account when creating bill payments? Currently, account selection only shows accounts with type = Bank. Field help also shows that it is indeed a "bank" account field. Still, we do have bills that are paid via petty cash.

at my last company, we had our petty cash GL account set up with type = "Bank". other option is to pay via the bank account and then book a JE to correct it (debit bank account, credit petty cash)

Expand the list of accounts to include non bank type.

Thanks guys. Will try this out.

And you can't see the account you want? That's strange. If it OneWorld?...Is the account open to the subsidiary? Is the account limited be some classification or role permission?

It has the same setup as the bank accounts, only difference is the type = other current asset. Rest same: subsidiary, permissions, roles, etc.

Strange...And you can't see it with the Expand Account List option enabled.

i think the issue is just specific to bill payments

That should matter.

thanks, maybe i should.

@Mars did you get this resolved? at my last company, we had that preference enabled and we were still only able to select accounts that had type of Bank or Credit Card. i checked my current environment as well and it's the same. as mentioned, the way we handled was we had our petty cash account set up as a Bank Account. other option would be to create a JE debiting A/P and crediting Petty Cash, and then apply that JE to the vendor bill via bill payments. if you hear otherwise from support, please share 🙂

The accounting department here preferred to just do correcting journal entries instead of making a bank-type petty cash account since it's just a minority case.
