How to: View Where General Ledger Accounts Are Used

Sometimes you may want to see an overview of the setup tables that cause Microsoft Dynamics NAV to automatically post to a specific account. When you do the setup, you fill in setup tables, such as the posting group tables, to specify which general ledger accounts are used as posting accounts for which types of transactions. Later, you may want to see which setup tables contain references to a certain general ledger account.

To get an overview of where general ledger accounts are used

  1. In the Search box, enter Chart of Accounts, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Chart of Accounts window, select the line with an account for which you want an overview. On the Navigate tab, in the Account group, choose Where-Used List.
