The mandatory "Default" accounts are populated by default as part of the general ledger configuration. That accounts are obviously part of the organization's chart of accounts.

If an accounting csv or reference data is not selected while running the Initial Client Setup process or the Initial Organization Setup process, these mandatory accounts need to be manually entered here once the account tree and therefore the corresponding sub-accounts have been created.

The accounts selected here are defaulted to every Business Partner Category or Product Category for instance by using action button "Copy Accounts".
Same way the accounts defaulted to every business partner category for instance, can be as well defaulted to every vendor or customer by using the action button "Copy Accounts" this time from the Business Partner Category window.
Finally it is possible to override these defaults at business partner category level allowing vendor liabilities and customer receivables for different business partners to be posted to different accounts.
This last configuration change needs to be done in the vendor and/or customer windows.
