Customizing accounts

RB9’s Chart of Accounts comes with a default set of accounts, but you can add, edit, and delete list entries to match RB9 to your general ledger or accounting software. When you have set up your accounts, you then designate which accounts to use for different financial activities in your company’s business units.
