Figure 2-6. How account types are classified within account groups<br />

Why are account groups important? There are two main reasons:<br />

• They determine the number ranges assigned to an account when creating<br />

a G/L account.<br />

• They determine the screen layout for creating G/L accounts in the company<br />

code area.<br />

In this activity, instead of creating your own account groups, you will copy some of the predefined<br />

account groups from the INT chart of accounts supplied by the system. INT stands for international chart of<br />

accounts. These are universal charts of accounts supplied by SAP. They are not company code-specific; you<br />

can use them across company codes.<br />

■■Note<br />

You can create your own account groups or copy the account groups that meet your requirements<br />

from the predefined list and then modify them to meet your needs.<br />
