What Do Expenses Defaults Do in Knowify?

Your Expenses Defaults in Knowify under the QuickBooks module is where you can map how your Knowify account pushes expenses into your QuickBooks account. The highest level of this is the Company Defaults at the top of the screen:

This controls the overall Accounts Payable, Expense Account, and Payment Account for all expenses that are pushed to QuickBooks from Knowify. The Accounts Payable should generally be set to your main Accounts Payable in QuickBooks. The Default Expense Account should be set to the Expense Account that you would like to use for all expenses, purchases, and bills that are logged in Knowify (if no other account is set in the Vendor Defaults below.

In the example above, you can see that Amazon.com has no default set for Expense or Payment account. This means it will refer to the Company Defaults set at the top of the page. See below:
