How do you create Payment Type?

[davidofbiz]

Hi!

We are trying to follow the directions from the OfBiz Wiki to create a Petty Writeoff Account (instructions here).

To do this, we need to create a Payment Type of "Petty Writeoff" and link this payment type to a Petty Writeoff G/L account.

We can create the Payment types, but these are pre-set from a drop-down menu.  Does anyone know how we add choices to this drop-down menu

Also:Is it a "Payment Type" or Payment Method Type"" that we need to create?

Thanks!

you can find the payment types in seed data.
you can use the webtools import to do your own or you can use the
database maintainence to add types.
besure to look at the relationships so you cover all the entities.
