Adding Accounts/Necessary Information to Include

[Sandy S. <san...@ya...>]

Hi,

At the risk of seeming completely ignorant, I would like to ask if there is 
any documentation on the set-up of accounts in the list and what functions 
the different check boxes will perform?

I am new to accounting and new to the open source world (My husband is the 
geek in the family!), but am trying to set up the books for our new business! 
 So, I am a bit confused about a few of the choices I need to make as I add 
accounts.

1)Do I need to fill in such boxes as "Is this a summary act to record A/R, 
A/P, Inventory"?  Is this information critical to creating reports?

2)Same question for the section on the form that says "Include Drop-down 
Menus" with Receivables, Payables, Parts Inventory, Service.  

3)What is a GIFI code?

Again, any information or a nudge in the right direction would be a great 
help!

Thanks,
-- 
Sandy
