Special information

The account groupings are available for selection in the
Chart of Accounts
 screen so that you can assign grouping codes and subcodes to accounts.
Use the Category column to select and assign categories for each account grouping code. The category assignments can be used to generate subtotals in the Account Groupings report.
note
Because categories are based on the application's default Account Classifications, the Category column isn't available for this account grouping.
A standard grouping called
Account Classifications
 is provided with the application. The Account Classifications grouping includes standard codes, and each standard code includes standard subcodes. You can add an unlimited number of subcodes to each standard code. You cannot modify the Account Classifications description or the standard codes included in this grouping. However, you can add subcodes to the standard codes and edit or delete any subcodes that you added.
Another standard grouping called
Leadsheet Schedule
 is also provided with the application. You can edit and delete this grouping and its codes and subcodes.
