What transactions are supported when exporting journal entries as JE Summary in the Batching settings?

Invoices only include a summary while Vendor Bills are exported as documents. Vendor Payments are not supported.

What is the difference between Category and Category Options?

A Category is a label or a name, whereas Category Options are the specific choices available, similar to those in Xero. You can use Category Options to categorize income, expenses, and transactions, helping you track financial data by segments such as departments, locations, and more. Category Options are mapped in Settings.

Are default accounts, such as Accounts Receivable, Undeposited Funds, and Accounts Payable, locked in Xero, or do I need to create them manually?
