General Description

Invoicing > Configuration > Account Groups

There are 3 usage of account groups:

1. Account Group - Grouping several different account into one group for reporting purpose
2. Natural Account Group - Grouping several account which has the same natural account but different code due to additional department code assignment
3. Cash Flow Group - The same purpose as account group, but specific to cash flow financial report

Originally, 1 row data of Chart of Accounts could only be mapped into 1 account group. Due to user needs, Kompas Gramedia modified the mapping to 3 account groups with each different purpose.

Not only modified how to map chart of account to account group, but also the account group itself. 1 account group can be use for 3 different purpose.
