GL Accounts can be created two ways:
| Via the Main menu | Financials > +Add |
| Using the Omni icon | Financials > +GL Account |
Both options open the new GL Account window.

Default GST Rate
Set the Default GST rate for the account. Select the Default to GST Inclusive (cashbook lines) option if GST is to be included when using the account in a Cashbook Receipt or Payment.
Save to complete.
New codes are inserted into the General Ledger view based on the existing sort layout, i.e. if the Ledger displays sorting by the Name column, the new account is inserted in order of the Name column.
