Units

When a new account is added to the chart of accounts, it is assigned a unit. The unit coincides with the nature of the journal entries on the account and controls the default numeric precision (scale). For financial accounts, the unit is typically a currency type. ActivityHD can store financial information for multiple currencies in one general ledger. You can also create statistical accounts for storing non-financial information such as hours, square footage, or stock shares.

All entries to an account have the same unit, the unit assigned to it in the Account window. Because all entries to an account have a common unit, you can obtain net and balance information for the account.

After you create calendars, creating units is the second step in setting up your general ledger.
