Accounts Settings
Company wide accounting switches: over billing allowance, auto reconciliation, accounts frozen date, who may delete entries. No ledger effect.
In detail
Accounts Settings is the single screen of company wide accounting switches. It holds the Accounts Frozen Till Date and who may post before it, the over billing and over delivery allowances, whether Capital Work in Progress accounting is on, whether Payment Entries are auto reconciled, whether cost center and dimension are mandatory, and the default ageing buckets. It posts nothing, but many of its switches decide what other documents post or refuse. After each year end the frozen date is moved forward, in the demo to 2026-07-16 after closing 2082-2083, so backdated entries are blocked. Change a switch here only when you understand which documents it touches.
