  • We are now on the master menu of ABT


Point to alert Set manual account code

  • Before you start creating a new account, you have to specify the account code type ie. manual or automated.
  • When first time you enter into this page, the alert-box will appear on the screen
  • Check the check-box if manual account code has to be provided or leave it as it is for automatic account code generation.


Point to Confirm button
  • I will check the check box and tap on Confirm button
  • Remember, This is only one time activity.
  • Later on this alert-box will not appear on the screen, instead it will follow the saved preference


Create account screen
  • Here, we have to add accounts for the organization.
  • An organization can have any number of banks.
  • If you are setting up a new business and is your first accounting package you need to enter opening balance.
  • The closing position (Trial Balance) will be the Opening Balance after rollover i.e after closing a previous book-keeping system
  • We will learn that in another tutorial
  • Finally, the bank balance will show the consolidated amount in the balance sheet.


Point to Group name and Subgroup name
  • Every account falls under a Group and optionally a Sub-Group.


Tap on dropdown of Group Name Tap on Group Name dropdown to see all the group names provided by ABT
Point to Corpus
  • Organization Free Accounting Foundation is of the type NGO
  • So we see Corpus in the Group name list.
  • If our organization type was Profit Making, we would see Capital instead of Corpus.


Point to Corpus,Current Liability, Loans(Liability)
  • The Groups Corpus,Current Liability, Loans(Liability)
  • These accounts will have Credit opening balance


  • Corpus is the principal amount of an NGO or a trust.
  • Capital is the amount invested in the business by the owner.
  • Liabilities denote the amounts which a business owes to a person or another firm.


Point to Current Asset,Fixed Assets and Loans (Asset) Then, there are groups like
  • Current Asset
  • Fixed Assets
  • Loans (Asset)

These accounts will normally have Debit opening balance


  • Fixed Assets represent everything which a business owns and has money value.
  • Any asset used in business, for more than one year, is considered as a fixed asset.
  • They are always shown as debit balance.


Point to Direct Income, Indirect Income, Direct Expense and Indirect Expense The groups
  • Direct Expense
  • Direct Income
  • Indirect Expense
  • Indirect Income

will not have any opening balance.

All other groups will have an opening balance
  • Direct expenses are expenses related to production and purchasing of goods.
  • Direct Income is earned from the business or for the services provided.
  • Indirect Expenses are expenses incurred after the manufacturing process is over.
  • Indirect income is one that is earned by way of non-business activities. eg. sale of old newspaper, sale of cartons.
