If you enter an invoice for expenses or asset purchases for more than one balancing segment,
you might want to use automatic offset method to keep your payables transaction accounting
entries balanced
If we enable balancing as a automatic offset, payable builds the offset GL account by taking
the balancing segment value from the invoice distribution and overlaying it on to the
appropriate GL account, i e liability account from the supplier site
If we enable account as automatic offset, it takes the opposite approach with one segment
being retained from the default GL account and all other segments being retained from the
invoice distribution
