Contents

Introduction

The China COA file included in this module is designed for Joint-stock enterprises registered in Chinese mainland and published by Chinese authority.
The industry it covers is: retail, distribution, trading, manufacturing, finance (bank, security, insurance) etc.
The latest update follows the official recommendations for year 2014.

This is a standard chart of accounts version, therefore few changes will be necessary based on this version for most companies.

Once installed and applied while running either the initial client setup process or the initial organization setup process, China Chart of Accounts module creates:

  1. An "Account Tree" which can be reviewed in the "Account Tree" window
  2. The default accounts setup in the "General ledger configuration", "Defaults" tab.
    This default account setup is used for the normal account posting which is also called voucher generation in daily sales and purchase (warehouse transaction included) procedures.
  3. Necessary Heading accounts and Customized Elements to produce a Balance Sheet and a Profit And Loss Reporting that respects the Official Recommendations.
