6. Define Accounts

Use AccountingUS.xls

Compiere needs a set of accounts for system operations, even though some may never be posted to. If you don’t have foreign currency transactions, for example, accounts like Realized Gains will never be used.

A default set of account will be imported upon initialization of the system.  These accounts can be adjusted or reassigned during implementation refinement.

You may prepare for any additional GL accounts that you wish added to the system.  These may be entered in the spreadsheet AccountingUS.xls.  You will need the information defined below.  Required fields are marked with an asterisk.
