- Save the record. You can click the Save toolbar button to save it. In case you miss to click this button and you click the Close toolbar button or the x button at the top right corner of the screen, i21 will prompt you if you would like to save it before closing the screen.
You can opt to not setup GL Accounts at Item level, i.e. if GL Accounts are setup at Category or Commodity level. This can be done if the same GL accounts is used for all items under a Category/Commodity.
