Central accounting categories let you define and manage a consistent chart of accounts at the portfolio level. You create, edit and delelete categories in Mews Multi-Property, assign them to any number of properties, and updates you make at the portfolio level flow automatically to every assigned property. You can learn more in the article Create a central accounting category in Mews Multi-Property.

 

You can edit or delete central accounting categories from the Accounting categories page in Mews Multi-Property.

 

Note: When you link a local accounting category to a central category, it becomes centrally managed. At the property level, the system locks all fields and you can only edit them from the central category in Mews Multi-Property. You cannot delete the category at the property level while it is centrally managed.

Managing central accounting categories in Mews Multi-Property

The Accounting categories screen lists all central accounting categories defined for your portfolio. Each row shows the category name, code, classification, and ledger account code.
