I agree with everything Steve has said. We also have had clients request that the department is not auto-filled during account entry. We have seen this be a concern with clients with dozens of departments.

Bruce is correct, most client like that Adagio tries to help find the department, but there is a small group that would prefer to do the thinking themselves. It is similar to the implied decimal setting, users who want it enabled vs disabled feel strongly about it.

As Steve mentioned above, it is about trying to minimize the errors. If you are entering multiple invoices with multiple distributions you might not notice that one line is posted to the wrong account when looking at the batch listings.
