GL Account Groups

Purpose

In mksiegowa.pl program all accounts belong to groups. A group belongs to a class. Each class is assigned to a specific type of accounts. Typical Chart of Accounts in Poland consist of 2 or 3 digit groups and accounts in each group.

When a balance sheet is printed it is sorted on:

  1. class,
  2. group,
  3. account.

Accounts are not necessarily printed out in account number order. First the Title for the first Class is printed, then the Title for the first Group is printed. Then the accounts within this group are printed. When a new group is coming, the totals within the old group group is printed before the title of the next group is printed.
The same thing happens when a new class is coming. The total for the old class is printed and the title of the new class is printed and so on.
By arranging the classes/groups you can present your balance sheets and P&L statements your own way.
By also using sub-groups (a group belonging to another group) you can create even more sophisticated aggregators.

Procedure

  • Define/Review Acount Classes (Types)
  • Set Account Groups
  • Set GL Accounts

Tips and Tricks

I need to re-arrange the Account Groups/Classes. How do I do that?

Remember that the Balance Sheet/Profit and Loss Statement and Monthly Break down are ordered by class/group/account

Let us start with the groups. For now let the old groups be there. Enter your groups and start f.i. with number 20. Enter all the groups you want in right order. Make a gap between them of 5. Then you can easily insert new groups if you need one.
Now go into the GL Accounts and enter your new groups on each account one by one.
It is now time for you to delete the old groups 1-12.

Using of multi level sub-types of account groups.

The current account Types/Groups setup with sub-levels allow up to several levels of account Types/Groups.

Example
010 środki trwałe (group)
010-1 grunty (sub-group for 010)
010-1-01 działka Warszawa (account)
