GAAP Documentation : Maintain Account Order

GAAP Setup Overview

Purpose: Allows you to change the order of the accounts within their defined group.

Select the Account Group you would like to modify.

For this example we'll select Current Liabilities.

Select "Enter an Account Order Change".

Select the description of the account for which you want to change the order and enter the Order in Group you want it to be. For this example we'll select account 1.02.104-Contracts Payable. Make the Order in Group = 2.

Now within the Group "Current Liabilities" the above account is second assuming another current liability account was entered as 1. If some accounts with a group are ordered by account over-ride and others are not, the system will put the ordered ones first and then the remainder using the system order. While account orders are entered on a separate screen, they are saved as a field in the Maintain Account Overrides record.
