Define Account Group

When creating a G/L account, you must specify an account group.

The account group determines:

• the interval in which the account number must be
• which fields are required and optional entries when creating and changing master
records
• which fields are suppressed when creating and changing master data.

It enables you to control the layout of screens.

Check and change the standard account groups as needed. If you set up your own
charts of accounts, you must specify account groups for them.
Here various account groups under which the various GL Accounts has to be grouped
is being defined.

Select the option New Entries from the task bar.

 Define the Account Groups as per Business needs. After Defining the Account Group
the filed status for that Group has to be specified. The field status so defined will
control the fields for creating the master records of any account to be created under
that particular group.
Define the field status and save the work under a request.
