Account Type Hierarchy

The following hierarchy is used for Ledger Account Types and Sub-Types. The top level are Balance Sheet and Income Statement accounts. This is important as balances for Balance Sheet accounts in reports will show the running total from beginning of time, vs. Income Statement accounts, which are Month to Date. When creating a Ledger Account you can create a new Sub-Type by typing and submitting the account with the new Sub-type.
