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 (Accounting → Settings → Accounting 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?"

Dimensions in details

The five dimensions themselves — and the composite dimension — are covered in Dimensions and Composite Dimensions.

Option	Effect
Show branch / department / analysis set / sector in details	Show each dimension at the document line level, not just the header.

Receipt and payment vouchers

Option	Effect
Do not suggest lines in receipt/payment voucher	Turn off the automatic suggestion of voucher lines.
Use current user as collector	Auto-fill the collector with the current user.
Allow multiple payment methods in receipt/payment vouchers	Enable multiple payment methods in the voucher.
Use local amount in receipt and payment	Adopt the local value in the voucher.
Allow changing subsidiary in receipt/payment details	Allow changing the subsidiary at the line level.
Allow voucher value to exceed request value (receipt/payment)	Permit the voucher to exceed its request's value.

System accounts per document type

Option	Effect
Allow using a system account in receipt / payment / bank transfer / journal entry	Permit manually picking a "system" account in each type individually.

Each of these switches the check off for a whole document type — every user, every account, every date — so it is the bluntest of the three ways to open a system account. Prefer a dated exception record instead; both routes, and the account flags behind them, are on System Accounts & Transaction Exceptions.

Prevent change of account balance nature

Option	Effect
Enable prevent changing account balance nature	Turn on the guard that blocks flipping an account's balance to its unnatural side.
Prevent balance-nature-change margin	A tolerance value at which the prevention is bypassed.
Consider department/sector/analysis set/entity dimension/branch in the prevention	Choose which dimensions are accounted for when applying the prevention.

(This corresponds to the Prevent Change Account Balance Nature flag on the account itself.)

Subsidiaries

Option	Effect
Allow accounts without a subsidiary type	Permit a subsidiary account with no party type set.
Enable allow transactions without subsidiary	Permit transactions on a subsidiary account with no party.
Allow changing subsidiary accounts after usage	Permit changing subsidiary-account mappings after movement begins.
Do not check subsidiary with account (until a date)	Disable the subsidiary-account consistency check before a date.
Do not validate subsidiaries in the closing entry	Skip the subsidiary check at closing.

Financial papers and banks

Option	Effect
Create financial papers from payment / receipt / opening document	Auto-generate financial papers from these documents.
Delete generated papers when deleting the owner document	Auto-clean dependent papers.
Allow the paper's due date to be empty	Don't mandate the due date.
Allow a notice on created papers	Allow a bank notice on a paper in "Created" status.
Allow a chequebook without a bank account	Don't mandate linking the book to a bank account.
Allow dealing with bills of exchange	Enable bills of exchange alongside cheques.
Aggregate paper lines with similar cheque numbers	Merge similar lines.

Currency differences

Option	Effect
Adjust currency difference	Enable automatic adjustment of currency differences.

Closing

Option	Effect
Allow making the closing entry even with unprocessed transactions	Bypass blocking the close when there are stuck business requests (see How documents are processed).

Budgets

Option	Effect
Enable approvals for budgets	Require approval when a budget is exceeded.
Enable prevent saving for budgets	Reject saving when a budget is exceeded.
Use from-date/to-date in validation and approval	Adopt the date range in budget checking.

Tax and e-invoicing

Option	Effect
Add tax fields to payment / receipt voucher	Show tax fields on the vouchers.
Add tax 1 / 2 fields to the journal entry	Show the tax sides in the manual entry.
Update tax-registration and commercial-registration numbers on save in misc purchase invoices	Auto-update tax data.

Loans, deposits, and facilities

Option	Effect
Days per year for credit-facility interest calculation	The interest-calculation basis (default 365).
Do not collect deposit interest payment lines after the deposit's end date	Tune deposit-interest calculation.
Do not validate loans and deposits before a date	Skip validation before a given date.

Coding and others

Option	Effect
Merge accounts and charts auto-coding	Unify the auto-coding logic.
Allow repeating the auto-coding prefix in the paper book	Permit prefix repetition.
Create System Transaction for Empty Lines	When a document's term writes no lines (every account side empty), still write an entry with no lines. Off, such a document is processed with no entry at all.
Allow transfers between more than two companies in inter-company transfer	Extend inter-company transfer beyond two parties.

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.
