Here is a helpful little chart that you can study to see how the system decides which GL account is used for transactions.

nice chart @timshuwy!

I used to struggle with this until I started to read and understand the Inventory Transaction Hierarchy guide from Epicweb.

The first thing folks should be aware of is that PartClass is for the materials side of things (Purchasing, inventory, etc…). And ProdGroup is on the sales side (orders, AR invoicing, etc…)
