Overview
An accounting code is a short code you assign to a category of charges (extras, services, products) so they're easier to identify in your reports and to import into accounting software. Setting them on your extras categories means every charge of that category carries the code through to the Report Builder — saving you and your accountant time on every reconciliation.
Why accounting codes matter
Make transactions easy to identify at a glance.
Reduce errors when generating accounting reports.
Let your accountant import data directly into their software without manual sorting.

💡 Tip
Use codes that match the chart of accounts your accountant uses — once they're consistent, the Report Builder export can be imported with no manual cleanup.
