Add Account Views
In addition to the main chart of accounts view, you can create different account views and print reports for these views.
This is helpful if you created a highly structured chart of accounts with several levels of subheadings but need a simplified structure for your auditor or finance committee.
While keeping the chart of accounts structure intact, you can create custom views that display only the major headings. You can also choose to display first or second level subheadings, or create additional subheadings that only display in the custom view. Any structural changes made to a custom view do not affect the main view (for example, moving headings or accounts to a different subheading).
You can also copy an existing account view. This is helpful if you create a new view each year, depending on how ministries prefer to see reports. When you copy a view, you can make any necessary changes without having to completely recreate it.
You cannot add or delete accounts from a custom view. You must add or delete accounts in the main view.
