Would you explain a little further? What screen are you seeing where the wrong GL account is displayed and where on the screen are you seeing it? On the Purchases/Receive Inventory screen or on the Payments screen?

If you are referring to the Purchases/Receive Inventory screen, there are two places for account numbers. One is the AP account box, located in the screen header information, which should be your "Accounts Payable" account. The other is the G/L account, located on each individual line item of the invoice, which is usually some type of expense account (ie: telephone expense).

When you make a payment and accidentally change the gl account #, from that moment foward, it will pst to the incorrect account.So you probably noticed that the payments that were posted to the incorrect accounts are all in sucession.
Ptree remembers the last account that you posted to, and defaults to that account for payments
