What you're seeing
When you make a payment for a bill, the bank account dropdown lists bank accounts you no longer use. You want these accounts to stop appearing so the list shows only the accounts you actually pay from.
Why this happens
There's one common reason.
Reason 1
The bank accounts in the dropdown are General Ledger (GL) accounts that are still active.
ServiceTitan shows every active GL bank account in the payment dropdown, so an account you've stopped using keeps appearing until you deactivate its GL account.
Before you start
You need the Edit general ledger accounts permission to get access to Settings > Accounting > General Ledger Accounts.
Caution: Before you deactivate a bank GL account, make sure nothing is still linked to it. Deactivating a bank account that is still tied to transactions, or that has exported payments or deposits in its history, can cause export errors on those records that need Technical Support to fix. Deactivate only accounts you've genuinely stopped using.
Some ServiceTitan-default GL accounts may not be deactivatable.
How to fix it
1Deactivate the bank account's GL account
Go to Settings > Accounting > General Ledger Accounts.
Find the bank account you want to remove from the dropdown and click Actions > Deactivate.
Open a bill and confirm the account no longer appears in the payment dropdown.
✓ Done · The deactivated bank accounts no longer show in the payment dropdown when you pay a bill.
Still not working?
