What are System Accounts?

System Accounts are used by the CRM.COM as sub ledgers, and are owned by the company (in comparison to custmer accounts that are owed by customers). 

Default System Accounts

Suspense Account

A Suspense account is a special system account used to temporarily carry any doubtful Financial Transactions, which their permanent allocation against an Accounts Receivable is pending. The Suspense account can only be owed by the organization Contact Information and as long as there are Financial Transactions allocated to it, it cannot be deleted.

It is used as a repository for Financial Transactions where:

• The Accounts Receivable is invalid, i.e. a proper Accounts Receivable cannot be determined at the time a Financial Transaction is created or posted
• The specified Accounts Receivable is terminated or deleted
• The specified Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable owner don't match

Above cases are created usually from bank payment import files and not the UI or the WEB API, as validations exist, and you would not be allowed to save a Financial Transaction with wrong or no Accounts Receivable
