Summary

The following article explains how to set-up a new Nominal Ledger Centre.

More Information

Get into " Accounts\Systems Nominal Ledger Maintenance Options Centre Maintenance Insert/Amend/Delete Centres".

You may wish to view a list of your current Nominal Centres to decide what your new code should be and where it should sit within your current Nominal Ledger Structure. You should be aware of the structure used to create your nominal codes - for example if you have a multi-site operation, a certain part of the nominal code will be used to indicate the site automatically.
  • Click [List] to view all centres. As you move down the list you will see the "Type" of centre is shown on the right of the screen - Click here to see what categories are.
  • In the "Filter on" field, type part of the name of your new Centre to check that it does not already exist. Click [Search].

When you are ready to add your new Centre:

  • Click [Add].
  • In "Code" enter the new Nominal Ledger Code you require (up to 6 characters) and press <Enter>. Please be aware of the structure required.
  • Type in a suitable description.
  • Choose whether the code is a Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss Centre and indicate the relevant flag as necessary - click here for descriptions of these indicators.
  • If this centre is to be reconciled (e.g. it's a bank account or any other centre that needs to be reconciled through the Bank Reconciliation) then place a tick in the "Reconciled?" box.
  • Choose [Done] and [Accept].
