<PARA>The <GUIMENU>Open Subaccounts</GUIMENU> menu item is interesting only
|
|
if you choose an account with sub-accounts (detail accounts).
|
|
Accounts with sub-accounts will always have a box on their
|
|
left. By choosing the <GUIMENU>Open Subaccounts</GUIMENU> menu item, a
|
|
general ledger window is opened, which displays all
|
|
transactions for the lead and the detail accounts. Note that
|
|
the general ledger window is more complicated and harder to use
|
|
than the individual account registers. The general ledger
|
|
window allows a more comprehensive overview of accounts in a
|
|
smaller space. Because of its increased complexity, it use is
|
|
recommended only for accounting experts.
