Show or hide a ledger account
Description
When you create a transaction, you only see the relevant ledger accounts, for example, sales ledger accounts only link to sales transactions.

To use a ledger account somewhere else, change its visibility. When you stop using an account, hide it. You can delete it if you haven't used it in any transactions. For details, see Delete a ledger account.

NOTE:

You can't hide control accounts. Sage Accounting uses these ledger accounts when you create transactions. Ledger accounts with balances still appear on your reports, even when you hide them.
