How to access accounting accounts?
- Log in to the system.
- Go to Settings:
Once inside, click the gear icon located at the top right corner of the screen. - Select the "Accounting Accounts" module:
In the Configuration section, find and select the "Accounting Accounts" module.
How does the accounting item work?
Access the "Accounting Item" option:
Within the Accounting Accounts module, you will find the "Accounting Item" option. This option is used to calculate the capital requirement.
Why is it important?
- Accuracy and traceability: Ensures that the capital calculation is precise and fully traceable.
- Regulatory compliance: Guarantees that accounting entries comply with applicable regulations.
Why was this field added?
This field was added to facilitate the identification of accounting entries.
It enables better identification and characterization of the records created within the module.
How to create an accounting account?
Complete the basic fields:
- Account Name: Enter the name of the accounting account.
- Account Number: Specify the unique account number.
- Select the "Accounting Item": In the "Accounting Item" field, several options will appear. Depending on the option you select, a brief description of what each item represents will be displayed. Each accounting item is associated with a specific component, which will determine the type of transactions and records applied to that account.
It is important to remember that each accounting item belongs to a different component, which affects the classification and accounting treatment of the account.
Depending on the option selected, the component information along with its description will be displayed.
