Percentage Account

For GL financial reports that include percentages, the balance will be shown as a percentage of the balance of the percentage account, for example, to show sales accounts as a percentage of total sales.

Alternate Account

The account for the balance to be transferred to when the account balance goes negative, that is, when a Debit account has a credit balance or vice versa. The alternate account must be a non-standard account and of opposite sign, that is, debit for Credit accounts and vice versa. A typical use for alternate accounts is for bank account and bank overdraft.

Alternate accounts must be specified in pairs. When an alternate Account code is set for an account, the selected account is set as the alternate Account code for the other account.

For total accounts, the Non-posting alternate account must be the higher numbered account of the pair. Alternate accounts are not available for Heading accounts.
