GROUP MANAGEMENT MANUAL

This is an "All Property" program.

This means add new record is all, edit and delete is per property

The next level of the CHART OF ACCOUNTS is the group level. An account always belongs to a group, even if there is only one account in a group. It is very important to organize the CHART OF ACCOUNTS in a way that the groups are logic and not too many accounts within one group. The dynamic P&L and Balance reports can be based on groups, making the reports easy readable for management.

The program Group Management allows the user to Add, Update, Deactivate and Reactivate groups. The program will show all active and inactive groups if the "hide inactive is UN-ticked", the groups with the “X” in the little red box are the inactive groups.
