The subcategory provides a finer level of grouping of related accounts. The subcategory helps guide the assigning of general ledger accounts so that setting up the system is straightforward and error free. Subcategories also facilitate reporting and filtering of related general ledger accounts. Each subcategory has a type of either Billing or POS. This allows for the separation of journal entries according to whether they are generated by the Billing System or Point of Sale.
