This section allows the creation and updating of
ledger items. It also allows the quick consultation
of periodic account balances.
Initially the search is presented for the selection of the account
or the creation of a new account as needed. For a new account, do not forget to register it in the format of the financial
statements.

The charter of accounts represents the accounting structure of
your company.
It must include the minimum items required for the registration
of accounting events by the software. It can be modified
completely if necessary but requires special attention for the composition of your financial
statements.
Any status change or addition must be tracked in the financial statements. Certain restrictions are also in place to prevent changes that could compromise the integrity of the general ledger. An account that has been involved in a
entry or used elsewhere in the software cannot be deleted.
A warning message indicating where it is used will be displayed when a deletion attempt is denied.
The small pencil next to the account # allows you to change the account number,
but requires more intensive work that could slow down the system during a peak period. It is recommended to do this outside of peak system hours.
For a bank account on which checks will be drawn, the sequence of check numbers
can be checked in the check counter box.
Two static balance tables are displayed
for the account.
The current period is indicated in
blue and depending on the account valence, the
amounts will be in green
for a debit account and in red
for a credit account.

A general ledger account can be either debit (ASSETS and EXPENSES)
or credit (LIABILITIES, CAPITAL and REVENUES).
This account valence can be modified at any time but
will include a warning when saving and may require corrections to transactions.

If a check mark is placed in the Salary Remittance field, this account
will be part of the accounts examined by the salary remittance processing.
The IGRF code allows the registration of pre-established item numbers
by the government, for the presentation of financial statements with the submission of the tax report. This box, if required, is normally
completed by your accountant.
The opening balance field allows the direct registration of a starting
balance as provided on a trial balance for the balance sheet items. No starting balance should normally be
presented for income items.
*The recommended procedure
is a starting entry and not a direct posting of balances.
(refer to the startup
procedures section for posting balances)
