The Add Main Accounts in General Ledger check box must be selected in the General Ledger Options window to access the Main Account Maintenance (On-the-Fly) window. Main accounts can only be added on the fly in the General Ledger module.

Use Main Account Maintenance (On the Fly) to add a main account on the fly from the General Ledger data entry windows. Enter information for the new main account, or copy information from an existing main account. The main account is always the first segment in an account, and its size is defined in Account Structure Maintenance. Main accounts are used as the basis for creating a chart of accounts. The combination of a main account and subaccounts creates a general ledger account.
