Reviewing your Chart Of Accounts

We have provided a default Chart of Accounts in Mamut Business Software. Please review the Chart of Accounts and edit it, so that it will more closely match the requirements of your business.

How to review the Chart of Accounts

  1. Go to View – Accounting – Reports.
  2. Click Accounting on the left.
  3. Print out the reports Chart of Accounts, Nominal List and Chart of Accounts with layout of Accounts. Highlight the report you want to print, then select Printer in the Send to drop-down list and click Print.

    Alternatively, you can select File in the Send to field and click Print; this will export the report to Excel.

You have now printed your report or alternatively sent it to a file for further analysis.

Tip! If you wish to analyse costs or income by department or cost centre you can do so by going to View – Settings – Company – Company Settings – Properties Register. Highlight Departments and click Edit to edit the existing Departments/Cost Centres or add new ones to match your requirements. These Departments/Cost centres then become available everywhere that you are able to allocate Income or Expenses to Cost Centres, such as the Sales and Invoicing, Purchase and Journal Entry modules along with others. Ensure that Department is ticked in User Settings for the different modules.

See How to add a new N/C to the Chart of Accounts for more information about creating a new account.
