Sub-category breakdown of nominal account codes

As per Nominal account categories (and the UI), the nominal codes are split into various sections of number ranges, but if I click to create a new code in the chart of accounts, I can choose a sub-category as well.

Is there a list of which number ranges the sub-categories map to?

Hi @iainhallam

There isn’t a list of these, but I will see if I can find one for you and come back to you shortly.

I’ve been through with a new Quickfile account and created a new code in each sub-category to find out where they go. Most seem to be in blocks of 100, though some are only 10. Here’s the list I’ve got. Sub-categories in square brackets aren’t in the list for creating new codes, but seem to me to be grouped together.

Balance sheet:

001x Assets and Liabilities - Property
002x Assets and Liabilities - Plant and Machinery
003x Assets and Liabilities - Office Equipment
004x Assets and Liabilities - Furniture and Fixtures
