Account groups

Definition
Account Groups play an important role in G/L Account numbering and structuring. The Account Groups are groups of G/L Accounts where we can assign Number Range to the G/L Accounts.

Account Groups are one more important part of Chart of Account which acts as a separator between various types of G/L Accounts. This helps us differentiate the G/L accounts according to their nature. 

Account Groups are created considering the nature of G/L Accounts. Following are the majorly used categories for account groups:
  • Liabilities
  • Assets
  • Income
  • Expenses
  • Purchase Accounting
 
The numbering of Account Groups should be designed carefully based on client requirement. A detailed discussion should be made before finalising the number ranges for Account Groups.

Further it is better to ensure enough availability of number range for General Ledgers in future.
