Allocating account ranges to account groups

A range of accounts can be allocated to a selected account group. To allocate the range, specify the account code of the first account in the range and the account code of the last account in the range.

The Edit Range Settings option is used to allocate accounts separately to different Account Groups depending on whether the account is in credit or debit. For example, bank accounts must be displayed in the Current Assets section of the Balance Sheet report if they have a debit balance and the Current Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet report if they have a credit balance. Any account ranges that have been allocated to a custom account groups will behave in a similar way.
