Columns tab

When entering account information into the Chart of Accounts, you can define which columns you want to appear in the Account detail grid, and in what order you want them to appear. You may include Debit, Credit, Balance, Budget, and Adjusted Budget columns for as many years back as you have specified to save in the General Ledger tab of the File > Client Properties dialog.
