When you have created your G/L Accounts, you can view the created accounts in the Chart of Accounts list.
As you can see from the below, the list of accounts is indented based on the Begin/End-Total rows. This is not something which happens by default, but is the result of running a process to indent the accounts. This same process also calculates the accounts included in the End-Total row so that the end total includes all accounts from the preceding Begin-Total:
To indent the COA, click the Process button on the action pane and select Indent Chart of Accounts:
A dialog will be displayed asking for confirmation that the indenting should be performed and what changes it will make; click Yes[/i] to proceed:
This function updates the indentation of all the G/L accounts in the chart of accounts. All accounts between a Begin-Total and the matching End-Total are indented one level. The Totaling for each End-total is also updated.
Do you want to indent the chart of accounts?
It may take a moment, depending on the size of your chart of accounts, but when finished the page will display the chart of accounts indented and will have updated the End-Total rows formula.
