General Information about Chart of Accounts

What Does This Procedure Do?

This procedure is used to register new, delete or change accounts in the Chart of Accounts. When deleting an account, a check is made to make sure that no balance exists on the account in question. This is done to avoid deleting a current account by mistake.

Registered accounts are used in the current accounting and in procedures where coding of accounting orders is made. Consequently, the accounts used in the Accounts Receivable Ledger and Accounts Payable Ledger procedures are updated in this procedure. To be able to use automatic coding, certain standard accounts must be registered in the procedure Chart of Accounts / Standard Accounts, in the Global Settings module.

A Chart of Accounts type is selected when starting up the system. A number of charts of accounts to select from is delivered with the system. Read more about this in the Create Chart of Accounts procedure in the Global Settings module.
