Notes

  • Changing the Chart of Accounts mask after initial setup is not recommended. Therefore, when defining a client's Chart of Accounts mask, you should allow for the growth of the client's business. This will help minimize the need to modify the Chart of Accounts in the future.
  • For a payroll-only client, you can set up Locations and Departments by choosing Change Chart of Accounts Mask from the F3 or right-click context menu in the Chart of Accounts dialog.
