Example

LGE's hospitals use subaccounts to track a variety of medical supplies. They use these subaccounts to track both inventory and revenue. LGE created a Medical Supplies template, shown in this table, to simplify the setup of detail accounts.

Subaccount Description
100 Non-prescription drugs
200 Prescription drugs
300 Needles
400 Lab supplies - swabs, glass
500 Disposal - tissues, gloves
