Configuring GL Report Categories

GL Report Categories organize general ledger accounts into major reporting groups—assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses—for financial statement presentation. You set up report categories after the chart of accounts is configured, then assign each account to the correct category.

Before you start​

Steps​

  1. Open GL Report Categories.
  2. Define categories that match how you present the balance sheet and income statement.
  3. Assign categories to the appropriate GL account parts / accounts.
  4. Review assignments after chart changes so statements still group correctly.

Notes​

  • Wrong category assignments will misgroup accounts on financial statements—balance sheet and income statement totals depend on accurate category assignments.
  • Set up report categories before running financial reports that rely on grouping.
