System Categories

From the menu bar, click Maintenance, click Ledger Maintenance and click System Categories or press Alt N L S on the keyboard.

The System Categories consist of the ledger accounts to debit and credit when any posting transaction is made in AIMsi. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that the categories are set up properly if you are relying on AIMsi for your accounting reports. The software comes with the system categories already established for you; however, you may make modifications as you deem necessary. If any changes are made to the chart of accounts, the system categories should be referenced and changed as applicable.

Example: The ledger account set up for Sales Tax Payable is 211-1. If this ledger account is changed, the system category that is referenced when sales tax is affected (category 1801) should also be changed to reflect the new ledger number assigned to sales tax payable.

The ledger accounts discussed in this section will be those that were sent as the default.
