Also see the general Sub-Account Maintenance help doc for more information. There are a few additional Sub-Account fields only available in the Invoicing module, they are as follows: Charge Sales Tax, Override Tax Authorities, Bill to Sub-Account and Terms: # of Days. In the Sales Tax section you can uncheck the Charge box so they are not charged tax. You can also change the Override Tax Authority box if you need it to be something other than the company default.
The main point on the A/R Options tab is if you want them to be Balance Fwd or Open Item. This will affect the way paid dates are applied to the invoices when payments are made.
Open Item tracks each entry/invoice entered, and keeps an accurate record of exactly which entry/invoices remain unpaid. While Balance Forward tracks entries and a total balance due.
The following table highlights the difference between A/R Balance Forward and A/R Open Item.
