When a rate group is created and the Automatic Deposit Settlement is default in the US, this creates a revenue items for taxation purposes. This is not used in the US and should not be the default setting. The Option of "Automatic Deposit Settlement" is regionally specific and not global. I believe this "Option" should remain an Option and not the default. This really confusing properties that are setting up rate groups. See help guide on this topic: *Note for properties in the United States, Australia and New Zealand: Do not select this feature, as you are not legally required to report deposits to pay VAT. This option is intended for properties that are legally required to account for tax upon receiving payment, so that they do not have to post deposits manually. Please return this as an option.
