Set Up Linked Accounts  
 
Simply Accounting uses linked accounts to update all related 
accounts automatically when you process a transaction. For 
example, if you make a payment to a vendor, the program 
decreases the balance in your bank account and decreases the 
balance you owe that vendor.  
If you used a template to create your chart of accounts in Simply 
Accounting, many of the linked accounts are already set up. 
However, you may need to add or change accounts to suit your 
business, or to remove or unlink an account you don’t need. For 
example, if you are never charged for freight, you can unlink and 
remove the Freight Expense account.  
Tip:  If you are making a lot of changes, or need more help, you 
can use the Linked Accounts wizard. In the Home window, on 
the Setup menu, choose Wizards, then Linked Accounts, and 
follow the steps on the screen. 
To set up a linked account: 
1.  In the Accounts window, add the account you want to link, 
if it is not already there. (For instructions, see “Adding 
Accounts,” earlier in this chapter.)  
2.  From the Setup menu, choose System Settings, then Linked 
Accounts.  
3.  Select the module that contains the account you want to link.
