Barry, This comes down to building your chart of accounts (COA). You would be adding Income and/or expense accounts. Easy to do when sitting on the accounts tab. The top menu bar will have entries to ADD, DELETE, or EDIT.
The user guide will also walk you through the exercise. Give it a good read and follow along using a test file. On Thu, Jul 15, 2021, 11:34 Barry G.
