New/Edit Account Dialog

This dialog enables you to add and edit accounts in the current accounts list. It is accessed by clicking New/Edit on the Accounts dialog.

In addition to the on-screen advice, you should note the following:

Details Tab

Code: Enter a code to uniquely identify the account.

Name: Each account needs a name. This name does not appear in reports and hence can contain additional information to uniquely identify the account.

External name: Each account needs a name to identify the account in reports.

Credit/debit: When entering journal rows against an account, the cursor moves directly to the Credit or Debit column.

Round Independently: Select the check box to round this account independently.
