How to control where a ledger account appears in Sage Accounting, or hide it when you no longer need it.
You can't always find every ledger account when you enter a transaction. Sage Accounting limits each ledger account to certain transaction types so you don't post entries to the wrong place.
EXAMPLE:
You can only use sales ledger accounts on sales transactions and receipts by default.
If you want to use a ledger account in a different area, change its visibility. If you no longer use a ledger account at all, hide it.
If you haven't used a ledger account on any transaction, you can delete it instead. 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.
Show or hide a ledger account
- From Settings, then Business settings, select Chart of accounts.
- Select the ledger account you want to change.
- Do one of the following:
- To change where the ledger account appears, select the relevant areas in the Visibility section
- To hide the ledger account, clear the Included in Chart checkbox
- Select Save.
After you hide a ledger account, you can't select it when you enter transactions.
