Distribution sets are predefined groups of general ledger accounting codes that determine the debit accounts for payments and let you speed your receivables accounting by reducing time spent on data entry. You can also use distribution sets to apply percentages of other receipt payments to different accounts.

You can create an unlimited number of distribution set lines for each distribution set. The total distribution lines must equal 100% before you can save your distribution set.

Receivables displays active distribution sets as list of values choices in the Transactions and Receivables Activities windows.

You can make a distribution set inactive by unchecking the Active check box, and then saving your work.
