Topic: Bank account types

Where would I change the bank account type (i.e., Chequing Account to Checking Account)?

If not in the UI in the tables through phpMyAdmin?

Thanks!

Re: Bank account types

The chart_master table is where you change the account name. The bank_accounts table is where you change the name of the Bank Account and it's assignment to the account in the chart_master table's account code.

Thanks. I don't see the Account Type in either of those tables. I'm looking to change the spelling of Chequing to Checking.

Since FA handles cash accounts and checking accounts differently, are these account types hard coded?

Take a backup and search and replace of the words you want (if they are unique) and then restore it in FA.

I found them. The options are hard coded at line 80 in ./includes/sysnames.inc.

Re: Bank account types

This is best "translated" in the .po/.mo files. They are translatable strings and not hardcoded.

Refer my commit of the en_US.po file for the default en_US.mo file
