How do I add custom G/L codes for my accountant?

Add your own General Ledger (G/L) codes to expense categories so when you submit reports to your accountant, expenses are already coded correctly!

Add your own General Ledger (G/L) codes to expense categories so when you submit reports to your accountant, expenses are already coded correctly!

📊 How G/L codes help:Faster imports - Your accountant can import directly without manual re-categorization ✅ Fewer errors - Consistent coding eliminates guesswork and mistakes ✅ Audit-ready - Professional coding that matches your chart of accounts ✅ Team consistency - Sync G/L codes across your organization

⚙️ How to Set Up:

  1. Ask your accountant for a list of G/L codes they use
  2. Go to Settings → Expense Categories
  3. Add the G/L code to each category
  4. Every export will include the proper codes automatically

💡 Result: Saves hours of manual accounting work and eliminates coding errors!

Uploading a full chart of accounts instead of adding codes one at a time? See "I uploaded my chart of accounts and some accounts are missing" — it explains which account types are imported, which are available to select, and which are dimmed (bank, A/R, A/P, income, equity) because a purchase cannot be coded to them.
