2. Click the required Chart of accounts, for example, Default Layout of Accounts, then click Edit.
3. Click Profit & Loss or Balance Sheet, depending on which area you want to amend.
4. Click the required category, for example, Overheads.
5. Click the next unused range and enter the name as you want it to appear on your reports.
6. Click the Low column and enter the nominal code you want to add.
7. Click the High column and enter the nominal code you want to add.
   
   If you're adding a sequence of nominal codes, enter the highest nominal code in the sequence here.
   
   
8. Click Save then click Close.
   
   If the message Incomplete chart of accounts appears, click OK then check your chart of accounts and fix any errors.
