• AutoInvoice Clearing: The clearing account for your imported transactions. Receivables uses the clearing account to hold any difference between the specified revenue amount and the selling price times the quantity for imported invoice lines. Receivables only uses the clearing account if you have enabled this feature for the invoice batch source of your imported transactions.

• Tax: The tax account for your transaction.

• Unbilled Receivable: The unbilled receivable account for your transaction. Receivables uses this account when you use the Bill In Arrears invoicing rule. If your accounting rule recognizes revenue before your invoicing rule bills it, Receivables uses this account.

• Unearned Revenue: The unearned revenue account for your transaction. Receivables uses this account when you use the Bill In Advance invoicing rule. If your accounting rule recognizes revenue after your invoicing rule bills it, Receivables uses this account.

• Salesreps: Enter this option to use salesperson when determining your revenue, freight, receivable, AutoInvoice clearing, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue accounts. If you choose this option for your AutoInvoice clearing, tax, or unearned revenue accounts, Receivables uses the revenue account associated with this salesperson. If you choose this option for your unbilled receivable account, Receivables uses the receivable account associated with this salesperson.

• Transaction Types: Enter this option to use transaction types when determining your revenue, freight, receivable, AutoInvoice clearing, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue accounts.
