Account classes (GL202000)

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

By using this window, you can create new account classes and maintain the list of account classes in the system.

There is no specific logic associated with account classes; these user-defined classes are used as properties of general ledger accounts for convenient grouping, sorting, and filtering of information associated with general ledger accounts in reports and inquiries.

For example: Liability accounts can be divided into several classes, such as the following:

• Current liabilities, Supplier ledger
• Current liabilities, Wages payable
• Current liabilities, Interest payable
• Long-term liabilities, Bonds payable
• Long-term liabilities, Mortgage loan payable
