You can allocate unallocated accounts to an account group in a number of ways:

Use drag-and-drop to allocate individual accounts to account groups. The account must be dragged from the Chart of Accounts table to the appropriate account group in the Account Group Details tree.
Using the Allocate to Group button on the Statutory Reporter — Account Groups or (NZ) Statutory Reporter — Tax Account Groups window.
The Chart of Accounts right-click menu option, Allocate to Group, is used to allocate a selected account to an account group in the Account Group Details tree.
