To see your list of General Ledger accounts:
- Click on menu General Ledger / CHART OF ACCOUNTS / All
To create an account:
- Click the Add Account hyperlink at the top
- Enter an account name and description.
- Choose the appropriate Account Type and Subtype
- Choose the currency of the account if the account is a cash account(can receive or make payments)
- Click the Add Account button.
Repeat the above four steps for each account you wish to add.
The Cash Accounts that you create will appear in the drop-down list when you are entering Invoices, receive payments , or make payments.
You will also want to create an expense account for each area where your business spends money on its day-to-day activities. Typical expense accounts might include:
- Utilities (Heat, water, energy, telephone, or internet services)
- Office Expenses (paper, pens, etc.)
- Delivery charges (courier services, postage, etc.)
- Bank Charges (account fees, service fees, etc.)
- Interest charges (loan interest, credit card interest, etc.)
- Marketing Expenses (Advertising, printed materials, etc.)
For any type of account you wish to create, the above four steps apply.
Some things to remember about your chart of accounts:
- You can not delete any default accounts. If the account does not have a [X] hyperlink beside it, then it can not be deleted.
- You can rename the default accounts to suit your needs.
- You can delete any accounts that you've accidentally created.
- You can not delete any accounts that have transactions posted to them, as this would damage your firm's audit trail.
