Define Account Group | OBD4

When we have Chart of Accounts, it is time to structures our General Ledger (GL) Accounts. The Account Groups will help to separate different GL types as Equity Accounts, Fixed Assets, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Revenues, Materials, Overheads, etc. Account Groups will also give an opportunity to define rules for field status. For example, cost center is required for expense accounts and hidden for Equity Accounts.
