That's my assumption. I asked the exact same question some time ago, and got a nothing as a response.
Very frustrating. I think there should only be 5 accountTypes - Revenue, Expense, Asset, Liability, Owners Equity, and the account classes just blown away. That way we're in compliance with the book. An account is not a class of accounts receivable, it's a child of accounts receivable. It's also an Asset, We seem to use the accountType to figure out which GL account to put a transaction into. I think this is silly.. if you can get the type, you can get the account... and besides you can have multiple accountReceivables, depending on how many customers you give credit to. So which one do you put it into? The service I was just looking at doesn't go any further. It's all very confusing, with no documentation that I can find on it.
