Config Account
The Branch COA (Chart of Accounts) section is a critical feature that allows you to control which financial accounts are active and available for a specific branch.
In simple terms, when you create a new branch, this function lets you link it to a specific subset of accounts from your company’s main Chart of Accounts.
- Key Functions:
- Access Control: It determines which accounts employees at that branch can use when recording transactions. For example, you can ensure a retail branch only has access to its own “Petty Cash” or “Cash on Hand” account, preventing them from accidentally posting to another branch’s account.
- Segmented Financial Reporting: This is the most important function. By assigning specific accounts (like revenue, expenses, assets) to a branch, you enable the system to generate financial reports (like a Profit & Loss or Balance Sheet) specifically for that single branch.
- Data Organization: It helps keep the financial data for each location neatly separated and organized within the main accounting system.

- After setting up your default, click on the “Save” button.
Note: You simply check the box next to each account you want to make available for the new branch. Only the checked accounts will be usable for transactions assigned to this branch.
