General Ledger - Chart of Accounts Breaks
Function
This option establishes breaks between different types of general ledger accounts to group them together and produce subtotals on the standard AddonSoftware financial reports (Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, and Profit and Loss Statement). At a minimum, account breaks should be defined for assets, liabilities, capital (owner's equity), income, and expenses, although they can be called by other names. The breaks established here have no effect on custom financial reports set up in Financial Report Maintenance.

Enter a chart of accounts break number.
Account Break Example
When the first expense account is 501-00 and the last income account is 475-00, enter 500-00 as the account break for expenses. Since it is not a valid account number, it will produce a break between income and expenses.
NOTE: The breaks do not have to be entered in sequence. The entries will be re-sorted automatically after they are entered.
