Notes about adding missing accounts

Header and detail accounts can be added to the ledger. Header accounts group related detail. Accounts help organise the accounts list.
There are eight account classifications.
Header accounts must be assigned an account classification.
Detail accounts must be assigned an account classification and an account type.
Each account must be represented by a unique five digit number. The first digit of the account code indicates the account’s classification.

Added accounts are displayed in italics in the chart of accounts. Header accounts are displayed in bold italics. When workpaper preparation has been completed, these newly-added accounts are posted to MYOB Ledger.
