The account or category card corresponds to the ledger and allows you to have a complete list of the accounting entries concerning the same account, the same category, a cost center, a segment or a group.

Open the account card

There are two ways to open and print an account or category card.

First method

This method is recommended when you want to view and print all or several account/category cards.

• Via the Reports > Account / Category Cards menu

A dialog box with the following sections appears:

• Accounts/Categories
• Period
• Options
• Customization

For detailed information on the sections, click on the corresponding links.

Second method

This method can be used when you need to open only one card at a time within the tables.

• Click on the small icon that appears when you select the cell that contains the account, category or group number.

Update the account card

The account or category card is temporary and is calculated at the time of the request. If transactions are changed or added in the Transactions table, the account card is not updated simultaneously.

To update the account card, following changes, it is necessary to use the Account / category card command again, or if the account card is still open, click on the symbol shown in the image below .

Note

It is not possible to change the data in the account, category or group card. Within the account card, by double clicking on the row number, the program switches to the corresponding row of the Transactions table or of the Estimate.

The Account Selection column

In the Account selected column, which can be made visible, starting from any account card, via the Data > Columns setup menu, the account on which the transaction took place will be displayed.
When you get an account card of one or more accounts, categories, groups and segments, you see exactly which account is used.

Cards of groups or classes

In the account card of a group or class, all the transactions of those accounts belonging to the selected group or class are regrouped.
The accounts or categories of the group or class can be viewed by making the Account Selected column visible.  

Budget Account card

Once the budget transactions have been entered in the Budget table, it is possible to have the account or group cards of the budget:

• Reports menu > Account / category cards > activate Budget transaction.

The selected account cards will be displayed on screen. To print, click on the File > Print menu.
