Chart of accounts
Management of general and auxiliary accounting plans in multi-company mode.
When you use simultaneously the Accounting module and the Multi-company module in Simax, you can define whether you want to:
use a chart of accounts common to all companies (shared chart of accounts), or
assign a separate chart of accounts to each company.
To activate the accounting module, go to Settings > Plug-ins and options, check | Accounting |, [[ Save ]].
Shared chart of accounts
Accounting charts can be shared for both the general accounting chart account and auxiliary charts account.
To tell Simax that you want a common chart of accounts, go to Settings > Plug-ins and options, [[Accounting]], and uncheck |Separate charts of accounts|.
Throughout the Simax software:
If the “Group company” field in a record is empty, the item is available to all companies.
If a company is specified, the item is reserved for that company only.
Shared general chart of accounts
Go to Accounting > Basic Files > General Chart Accounts.
You can view/create/edit/delete accounts.
Shared auxiliary chart of accounts
Go to Accounting > Basic Files > Auxiliary Chart Accounts
You can view / create / modify / delete.
You can also go to each customer/supplier/employee file to assign them their account.
You can then assign the corresponding auxiliary account in each customer/supplier/employee file.
Simax automatically creates a supplier's auxiliary account when it is created.
For a customer, the auxiliary account is created automatically as soon as they are no longer a prospect type.
Default shared accounts
Default accounts are also unique and configurable in Settings > Plug-ins and options, [[Accounting]], [Default accounts].
Separate chart of accounts
Each company can have its own chart of accounts
If you prefer each company to have its own chart of accounts:
Go to Settings > Plug-ins and option, [[Accounting]], check | Separate charts of accounts|.
Throughout the Simax software:
If the “Group company” field in a record is empty, the item is available to all companies.
If a company is specified, the item is reserved for that company only.
