# External codes 1 (GL20251S)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> This code is used in the Chart of accounts (GL202500) window and must be defined here first.


For more information: [Chart of accounts (GL202500)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/chart-of-accounts-gl202500/index.md).

This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

It can then be used as a filter or a summary in general inquiries or APIs, to sort or summarise general ledger transactions.

There are two internal reports that contain this column:

+ [Transactions with external codes (GL63304S)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-reports/transactions-with-external-codes-gl63304s/index.md)
+ [Balance with external codes (GL63201S)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-reports/balance-with-external-codes-gl63201s/index.md)
