Basic Chart of Accounts

Summary

The Basic Chart of Accounts cover all fundamental main account codes required to run a business. This would primarily be for new companies.

Some key benefits are:

  • Huge time saving for the implementation with ‘out of the box’ accounts
  • Includes the relevant codes required for the system posting tables
  • Code descriptions can be change as required
  • New codes can be added and existing codes removed
  • The coding allows for new codes to be introduced between existing codes
  • System standard default reports are built for this structure
  • Utilise Financial Dimensions for greater reporting depth
  • These code are ready for instant import into Dynamics 365

For reference, the headers are:

  1. MAIN ACCOUNT : The unique numeric character for the code. For this Chart of Account, six numeric characters have been assigned
  2. DESCRIPTION : The code description – this can be amended
  3. MAIN ACCOUNT TYPE : This groups the codes together for the highest possible reporting level – Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet.
  4. MAIN ACCOUNT CATEGORY : This is the second highest level report grouping. These categories are default in Dynamics 365 but can be added/amended as required.
  5. CURRENCY : This represents the currency of the main account code
