Manage Chart of Accounts
Add, edit, or archive nominal account codes.
Managing Chart of Accounts
- Go to Accounting β Chart of Accounts.
- Click New Account to add a code β enter the code, name, and account type.
- Click any row to open its ledger β a read-only view of the account's closing balance and every posted entry against it. Use it to trace a balance back to the journal entries that built it.
- Accounts are not edited or archived from this page. To correct a code or name, raise it with whoever manages your chart of accounts setup; to stop using an account, simply stop posting to it β its history stays intact either way.
