Create or edit category

General

Give the category a meaningful Category number. This number is placed in front of the category name in all fields and is language-independent. Use numbers and/or letters.

Enter the deadline in days. The due date of unsettled items is calculated in WINPACCS Accounting depending on this value, starting from the voucher date.

To prevent postings from continuing to be assigned to a category, block the category. (You cannot delete categories of unsettled items because postings from closed months can be assigned to the categories) Then release the change.

category

Name the category clearly in the relevant languages. It should be recognisable from the name:

the category of receivable or payable (e.g. suppliers, partners, taxes, third parties...)

and the deadline in days because this value is otherwise not visible to accountants when posting.

Assigned accounts

The main accounts displayed here have been assigned the open category in the main chart of accounts. Categories are also assigned to the sub-accounts in the project chart of accounts so that they are available when posting in WINPACCS Accounting. Find out more in this guide.
