Create an Account "On the Fly"

To add an account "on the fly":

  1. In the transaction window, double-click in the Account box.
  2. Select <Add New Account>, and click Select.
  3. Follow the Add an Account wizard to finish adding the new account.

Note: You can add a new account in any Transaction Window. Any window on which you enter data regarding transactions with another party, such as a purchase or sale. The icons on the bottom two rows of the Home window lead to transaction windows.

In accounting terms, transaction windows are called journals.
