Chart of accounts and accounting setup

Goal

Seed or structure the chart and configure posting / period-close / FX preferences.

Who it is for

accounting.manage to seed/create accounts; accounting.admin for Accounting setup writes; System Accounts remap needs manage.

Preconditions

Core module accounting. Fiscal year start, lock dates, and base currency remain tenant settings — not on this screen.

Steps

1. Open Chart of Accounts. If empty, use Seed default chart (accounting.manage).
2. Create groups and leaves as needed (code, name, type, parent).
3. Open Accounting → Accounting setup.
4. Options — Manual journals: require approval, reference, description, type, analytical dimensions.
5. Options — FX: schedule on_demand / monthly / quarterly, day 1–28, prefer automatic when scheduled. (Stored preference — posting is still started from FX revaluation today.)
6. Options — Period close: block unposted docs / suspense / AR-AP tie; require closing checklist tasks.
7. Maintain Journal types and Closing tasks catalogs; map roles on System Accounts.

Result

Posting services resolve system roles; journals and close checklists follow tenant options.
