Account types

Account types help you report on different groups of accounts in your company. For example, an organisation that owns several companies may have a different account type for each company, or your company may have different account types for GST exempt and non-GST exempt accounts.

Account types apply to some financial and credit control reports, including the sales report, trial balance report and aged debtors report. You choose the account type to report on when you generate the report, or you can generate a report for all account types.

An account's account type is defined in the package you use to order the account.
