Editing Account Types

Account Types are similar to categories or headings. The most common ones used are:

• Assets (Current Assets,Non Current Assets)
• Liabilities (Current Liabilities, Non Current Liabilities)
• Equity
• Revenue OR Turnover
• Expenses

Note that these are examples and you may customise them to how you wish. 

You can add more account types to group specific lead schedules as part of the edit accounting structure view as well as renaming and deleting account types.
