This is where you can view and manage accounts and sub-accounts for your ledger, including adding budgets and making an account available on eGiving.
It will depend on your role as to how much you can edit. Local church treasurers should work with their Conference support team to manage their accounts.
Go to the General Ledger menu, then click Accounts.
This will display a list of all active accounts relating to your entity.
Notes
The different coloured accounts relate to what sub-account option is associated with them.
Green accounts - Sub-account is required
Orange accounts - Sub-account is optional
Red accounts - Sub-account is prohibited
If you wish to view details of a certain account, click on it and the details will appear in the right-hand pane.

You may wish to prevent an account from being used on transactions. This might be while you clear the balance of an account that is to be made inactive. To do this:
Go to the General Ledger menu and select Accounts.
Navigate to the relevant account, and check the “Prohibit Posting” checkbox.
Click Save.
This account will no longer appear in the list of accounts when entering transactions, but it can still be used in report filters. The account and associated transactions/balances will still show on reports.
