There is a SQL table which is easier to see than XML. If you have direct access to the OfBiz SQL tables look at table GL_ACCOUNTS (loaded from this file and other GL_ tables).

I think it's an easy question with a difficult answer. It depends on what
the "action" is. Some level of automation happens when using the order
component. Others when creating certain invoices / payments by setting the
appropriate mapping to GL in the accounting components.
I hope others can help answer your question better than I could, but I
believe there no central "application" to trigger debit / credit
transactions based on events. I think it's really scattered across
different components for different purposes using different methodologies
(UI event, SECAs, parameter mapping, custom code, etc ...)
So I think perhaps being more specific about the problem you're facing
might help give you better feedback.

Hi Craig
I think what you are looking for are called GL Account defaults in OFBiz and they can be configured and mapped using the standard OFBiz user screens.
The GL Account defaults are codes that describe a transaction or part of a transaction and allow you to specify which GL account (within your chart of a account) the transactions will be posted to.
You can find them via the following links in the OFBiz Menu structure:
1. Select Accounting
2. Select Organisation GL Settings
3. Click Setup (for the company)
4. Click GL Account Defaults
On the GL Accounts defaults screen, you can click the various links and see the mapping used for the demo data.
I think there are some setup parameters to control the automatic posting (as not everyone might want to automatically post everything). By default our OFBiz demo is setup to automatically post all transactions to based on these settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Sharan

GL Defaults

I'm tooling around the demo site and don't see what I'm looking for.
I've called them "GL Defaults" for years, but maybe they're called
something different in OFBiz...
When some action occurs (AR payments on account, bank deposits, company
vehicle repair bills) is there an application that lets you set which GL
account gets credited/debited by default?
