How to align your Practice chart of accounts in Farm Focus

Why

When a farm business is created in Farm Focus, the income and expense alignment to your chart of accounts is automatically set up and ready for mapping.

Benefits

Mapping your chart of accounts ensures that your financial data in Farm Focus accurately reflects your business structure and financial reporting needs.

How to map your chart of accounts

1. Understand code types

   • The Type within each category and extended code determines how it aligns with your chart of accounts.
   • For example, livestock codes have the code Type ‘Stock’, so they will have both an Income and an Expense field to map.

   Code Type	Placement
   Stock	Income and Expense
   Bank accounts	General Ledger Accounts
   Accounts payable/receivable	General Ledger Accounts
   Tax codes (Input, output, nil, exempt)	General Ledger Accounts
   Suspense	General Ledger Accounts

2. Map the code list

   • Go to Settings > Codes > Farm Codes.
   • Enter your codes into the Income and/or Expense columns next to the corresponding Farm Focus codes.
   • TIP: Click the three vertical arrows (chevrons) to display the complete code list.

1. Map additional codes

   • Bank accounts
   • Accounts payable and accounts receivable
   • Suspense
   • Tax codes (Input, output, nil, and exempt)

   These can be mapped in the General Ledger Account Codes screen located at Settings > Codes > General Ledger Account Codes.
