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

Once account hierarchies are created, BudgetLink has the capability to control the accounts that appear on reports. For more information, see Customising a report to show a specific account hierarchy.
