This can save time setting up AR accounts, because critical choices such as payment terms, finance charges, and credit limits are set for the group and do not have to be set for each individual AR account. Using account groups also ensures consistency in how the AR accounts are set up. 1. Click **Setup**. 2. Expand **Customer**. 3. Expand **Account Receivables**. 4. Do one of the following: * To add a new account group, click **New**. * To edit an existing account group, select it and click **Edit**. * To copy an existing account group, select it and click **Copy**. 5. Configure the account group defaults.
