Abstract

The Companies directory is used to manage companies' details.

The Companies directory contains data about the companies that are in contact with your business. The directory also contains information about your own company, which is used when generating print layouts and exporting data to an accounting suite.

Location: TransactionsDirectoriesCompanies.

The directory window contains a tree list of company groups and companies. Only company groups can be root elements of the list. However, both company groups and companies can be child elements of the list.

The Companies directory data grid displays only company attributes and names of company groups. You can view the attributes of company groups in the Company groups directory.
