Hi, I am also trying to get the the differences between these two GLAccountTypeId and GLAccountClassId.
There is no FIXED_ASSET in GLAccountClassId, where as it is present in GLAccountTypeId. So, from the reporting perspective (which is completely based on GLAccountClass), the FIXED_ASSET will not be shown at all. I think it is important to show FIXED_ASSET in the reporting. -Aswath On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 7:43 AM, snowc <chsnow...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks again for your help Jacques! > > When I fully understand the concepts, I will put together a page explaining > the differences. > > > jacques.le.roux wrote: > > > > Done > > > > Jacques > > > > From: "snowc" <chsnow...@gmail.com> > >> Hi Jacques, thanks for the response.
