Re: [SL] Help and info wanted on chart of account management

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

You can use any text editor to edit a chart of accounts.

The account number is an integer, no decimal points are allowed.

The GIFI is ment for the prescribed account number issued by your
Government. It is also a way of consolidating accounts into one account.
However, none of the reports use the field at the moment.

Updated translations can be submitted to me. I include it in the
next release and post an upgrade file in the meantime.

If you have the templates I'll include them too.
