Accounts

Accounts are used to group financial transactions posted from Journal entry or other programs like Accounts Payable. Accounts show increases, decreases, and an ending balance that provide a means for creating financial statements.

The Accounts list in General ledger displays all the accounts you have in the system. You can reorder the columns in the list by dragging and dropping the column headers. You can use the menu next to each account in the list to quickly view or edit the account.

Tip: For information about an account's structure, including how to add segments and adjust segment lengths, see Account Structure. For details about adding account codes, see Account Codes.
