You can change this default account depending on your company's usage.

For the employee advance payment, the accountant needs to register the total amount in the 141 account according to VAS. Navigate to Employees > Employees, and select an employee to see the advance account 141 automatically selected at the Advance Account field in the Accounting tab.
While doing the employee advance process, journal entries recording the advance payment will be automatically created and the advance amount will be registered in the 141 account.
Note: You need to install the Employee Advance app (to_hr_employee_advance).
Besides, the 141 account will also be used as the destination account to record the employee's payment to the company.
