HandiLedger uses account ranges when creating financial reports by grouping account codes from the chart of accounts. You can get further information on the importance of these account ranges, by reviewing Identifying the account ranges.
Example: You have an account range for Revenue (0001-0999), called RevAll. Within this account range are specific groupings, such as Trading Income (0100-0199) known as RevTrading. Where you have two ranges using accounts 0100 to 0199. The Balance Sheet will use the #RevAll account range to identify the income and the Trading Account report will use #RevTrading account range to identify the different types of income.
