Group Type

From the drop-down list of all standard account categories, select the category that applies to the account group. The category that you select determines the placement of the group on general ledger reports if you choose Account Groups as a report sorting/grouping option.

The group type for the summary account group overrides the group type for the corresponding detail account group when you associate them via account group tables.
