Account Categories

Account Categories are a group of accounting codes.  Account categories are primarily used to support custom reporting needs that require that reports be grouped by a group of accounting codes.  Sellable items are assigned accounting codes.  Accounting codes can then be assigned to account categories.  Then, custom reports can be grouped by accounting code or account category.

2. Type a Category Name and Description and click Save.

3. The account categories you have created can now be assigned to accounting codes by editing the accounting code.
