Assign accounts to map and group numbers
You can assign your accounts to map numbers, leadsheets, group numbers, tax codes, M3 codes (US) or GIFI codes (Canada) to fill out your chart of accounts.
Map numbers contain identical fields to account numbers and can be used to complete account properties when entering a client's chart of accounts in the Trial Balance.
