Overview
The general ledger dissections are broken up based upon a set of Interface Rules that are applied to a transaction type.
The Interface rules are pre-set.
The only real time you would change interface rules is if you have broken you chart of accounts up by Category.
If this is the case, you need to ensure you have a chart of account for each category required, a product category set up, the gl account assigned to the correct product category and the product category assigned to the product itself. Then you can make changes to the Interface rule if you wish to dissect against the Product Category etc.
