Chart of Accounts

Entries post only to ledger accounts, and analytic dimensions are not a third level — they are a separate axis on the line.

The structure of accounts every entry is written against.

Entries post only to ledger accounts

A group is only a category — assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses. Nothing posts directly to it.

A ledger account is the real one: bank, accounts receivable, sales. Entry lines always land here.

If an account is missing from the picker when writing an entry, it is usually a group rather than a ledger account.

Dimensions are not a third level

There is no third level. Instead there are analytic dimensions: a separate axis attached to the entry line alongside the account, which can link to a real entity such as a customer.

So you define "accounts receivable" once, and the balance per customer comes from the dimension — not from creating a ledger account per customer.

Some accounts require a dimension

A ledger account can require that no line is accepted without a dimension. Receivables and payables are set up that way already.

When an entry is refused for that reason the amount is not the problem — set the line's dimension.

Account codes are ordered

Codes are banded and the order means something; reports group by it. A new bank account takes its code automatically from the banking band.
