There are a number of GL control accounts (dependent on your system setup, GST situation and country setup) which must be created and nominated in the Control Accounts area of the system .  The Creditors; Debtors; Profit; and Unappropriated Profit accounts must have valid GL Account and Account Names.  The other Control Accounts are not mandatory as they are typically defined in other areas of the system, however it is good practice to record as many as possible.

 

The GL control accounts are automatically updated by the posted transactions according to the transaction type.
