Accounting Configuration (module option catalog)
Many of the accounting module's behaviors aren't coded — they're configured from the accounting module's configuration screen (Module Configurations → Account Configurations). This page is a reference catalog of the most important of these options, grouped by purpose: what each option does, and which behavior it changes. It's designed to answer the recurring support question: "where do I set this behavior?"

For Support
- For any "where do I enable/disable this behavior?" question, start from this screen before assuming it's a code issue.
- Account and subsidiary options intersect with the account setup itself; review both together.
- Period and closing options are complemented by the Year-end & period control page.
