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.
- Click Report → Account/Category Cards from the menu
A dialog box appears with the following sections:
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
In the account, category or group card it is not possible to change the data. 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 Budget.
The Selected Account column
In the Selected Account column, which can be made visible, starting from any account card, via Data → Columns setup, the account on which the transaction took place is displayed.
When you get an account card of one or more accounts, categories, groups and segments, you see exactly which account is used.
The Counterpart Column
The C-Acct. column is displayed on the account or category card, indicating the offset account that completes the posting.
Cards of groups or classes
In the account tab 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 Selected Account column visible.
Budget account card
If 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 transactions.

To print the cards:
- Report menu → Account cards
- Using the Filter it is possible to automatically select all the account cards to be printed or partially (eg only accounts, cost centers or segments).
