Elements of a Template
The accounting template file contains:
- File properties (basic data) where you can insert headers and currency settings.
If the text "#KEEPORIGINALDATES" appears in the left or right header, the start and end dates will not be set to the current year when creating a new file from the template.
Once the new file is created, "#KEEPORIGINALDATES" is removed. - The chart of accounts
- Accounts, groups, and subgroups. The accounts are set up to allow immediate printing of the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.
- Possible cost centers and segments.
- For VAT accounting, VAT codes include groupings and settings related to applicable VAT rates.
- Some templates include example entries that should be deleted when starting the accounting.
- The necessary options according to the purpose (cost and profit centers, customer and supplier section, etc.)
