Set Up Accounting

Use the Accounting page to review and modify your accounts, establish your bank accounts, and set parameters for accounting postings.

Set up Accounting in the desktop application. Accounting has multiple menu options, each focused on a different area. The fields are pre-populated with default entries based on the options you selected during activation. We recommend you keep the default settings in each area, but you may need to change items that need to be specialized for your organization.

Review the default settings in each area and update any fields as needed. You can modify any fields and implement advanced features later in Deltek Settings after the setup process is complete.
