Overview
The account hierarchies functionality allows you to define additional chart of accounts in order to report on your data in different ways. These additional account hierarchies can be used for:
- Restructuring / reordering your accounts within reports;
- Slicing your data file into various entities, departments or areas of interest;
- Creating a structure against which multiple data files will be consolidated;
- Creating a structure against which to report cash flow.

Applying Account Hierarchies
If you wish to change how your data file's chart of accounts is mapped to the account hierarchy, see Editing the account hierarchy mappings.
Using account hierarchies on reports
Once account hierarchies are created, BudgetLink has the capability to control the accounts that appear on reports. For more information, see Customising which account hierarchy gets used on a report.
