General ledger accounts by branch access (GL103040)
By using this window, you can create restriction groups for managing the visibility of general ledger accounts to branches, or modify existing restriction groups by adding or removing branches or accounts. For more information about restriction groups, see: About restriction groups in Visma Net.
By restricting the visibility of accounts, subaccounts, and branches, you also restrict the visibility of the cash accounts that are linked to the restricted entities. We recommend that you carefully configure restriction groups that contain accounts, subaccounts, and branches because including these entities in different restriction groups may block the processing of the associated cash accounts.
