Add a deviating ledger account description per administration

You only add a deviating ledger account description for an administration if this is different from the default description. If a ledger account does not have a deviating description for an administration, Profit uses the default description for the ledger account.

For each administration, you can add one deviating description per ledger account. You can add these deviating descriptions manually or import them. Thus, you can record clear descriptions (for the assistant accountant) for your bank account numbers, mortgages or revenue accounts per customer. Meaning that, as an accountancy firm, you can have different (non-related) accounts in one environment.

You cannot record a deviating description per administration for debtors / creditors.

Note:

Bear in mind when using this functionality that you are only changing the ledger account description and not the account type. You can change the ledger account description but not its underlying operation. For example: just by giving it another name, a ledger account for liabilities does not become a ledger account for assets.

To add a deviating ledger account description per administration:

1. Go to:Financial / Ledger / Ledger account.
2. Open the properties of a ledger account for which you want to record a deviating description.
3. Go to the tab:Deviating description.
4. Click on: New.
5. Select the administration.
6. Enter a description in Deviating description.
7. Enter a deviating search name.

   The value you enter here is used in the Search help field to search for a ledger account in the financial entry programs.

8. Click on: OK.
