The purpose of the account group is to simplify the creation of master records and to prevent errors. The account group specifies the screens for entering master records and specifies the number interval from which the account number is selected. Account groups are defined for each chart of accounts.
When you create a master record in the chart of accounts, you must specify an account group. This means that you need at least one account group for your G/L account master records. The general ledger accounting (FI-GL) component is delivered with defined account groups.
If you do not want to use the account group as an entry tool, define an account group whose number interval includes all required numbers and contains the status "optional field" for the field groups. You can also define account groups that use the status definition only for the design of the screens or are supposed to define just the number interval for master records.
Do not forget to maintain the field status. Otherwise, all fields are hidden.
