Account groups (PM201000)

This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

In this window, you can define account groups, which you can use to track the budget, expenses, and revenues of projects.
An account group of a particular type is mapped to specific general ledger accounts of only certain types or an account group of the Asset or Liability type may include only asset and liability accounts and an account group of the Income or Expense type may include only income and expense accounts.

You can also use this window to define account groups of the Off-balance type, which give you the ability to track statistical information for projects.

For more information, see: About account groups.

If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view.

There are two types of search fields:

  • White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or % and get different results:

    • space: the result contains the words in any order,

    • %: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the % functions as a wildcard as well.

  • Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.

You use the elements in this area to add a new account group or to view the details of an existing group.
