About Statistical Accounts
Statistical accounts are used to track non-financial, that is,
non-monetary, amounts over a period of time.
You can use the information from statistical accounts to compare non-financial data to related financial data - for example, compare Shipping Expenses to Quantity Shipped in each shipping department - in order to control costs or measure productivity.
You can also use statistical accounts to track periodic changes in non-financial data, and to allocate and distribute expenses based on that variable data.
Note: You can only use statistical accounts within the
Chart of Accounts form and the
Chart of Accounts Budget and Plan form, where they
are maintained.
