How to create Accounts
You will learn how to set up and customize accounts used for financial transactions, tax calculations, and other accounting-related functions. Here's a breakdown of the key elements you might find in the Accounts tab:
- Chart of Accounts:
This is a comprehensive list of all the accounts used by the company for recording financial transactions. It typically includes various categories like assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses. Each account is given a unique code and name, and the chart is used for accurate bookkeeping and reporting. - Account Creation and Configuration:
In this tab, you can create new accounts by defining their names, descriptions, and associated codes. You can also specify details like the account type (e.g., asset, liability, income, expense), and set up default tax rates or any specific rules for how the account will be used. - Tax Rate Management:
You can manage tax rates associated with specific accounts, including setting default tax rates for accounts, especially when dealing with sales, purchases, or other taxable transactions. This section helps ensure that taxes are applied consistently across the company's financial transactions. - Account Archiving and Deactivation:
In this tab, you may have the option to archive or deactivate accounts that are no longer in use, keeping your accounting records clean while maintaining historical data. Archived accounts remain in the system for reference, audits, or reporting purposes but will not be used in future transactions. - Default Accounts:
You can set default accounts for certain transactions, such as accounts for sales, purchases, or expense categories. These defaults help streamline your workflow, as they automatically populate during transaction entries. - Account Reporting and Visibility:
The Accounts tab can provide reports on account activity, balances, and usage. It helps ensure that all accounts are correctly classified, and balances are up-to-date, providing clarity for financial analysis, audits, and tax reporting.
Overall, the Accounts tab in Company Settings is essential for setting up and maintaining the financial structure of your company within 3PM, ensuring that your financial transactions are well-organized, compliant, and accurate.
