A reporting code is used to group under a unique code a group of accounts having or not a common root. A different reporting code can be assigned to each account as a function of the sign of the balance (if debt or if credit).
This distinction is not mandatory and the same code can be used irrespective of the balance sign.
These codes are used by the standard tool for the Setup of financial extractions.
The end of year reports also use these codes in order to group accounts to construct the balance sheet, the retained earnings account and the financial reporting (only the first three lines are used for this).
It is possible to set up up to ten different codes for the same account.
The other codes (lines 4 to 10) are free and depend uniquely on the use that is made in the reports or in the financial extracts.
These codes can be automatically entered by the Reporting codes setup. They of course remain modifiable in this screen in order to manage exceptions.
