Configure account number

In this guide we go through how to add account numbers to your payment methods and product groups in Ancon Backoffice. The purpose is to ensure that your sales data is posted correctly in your accounting system.

Purpose of Account Numbers

Account numbers are used to link your sales to the correct accounting account.
They serve as a bridge between sales in Ancon and accounting, making it easier to:

  • Allocate sales to different accounts (e.g., food, beverages, alcohol, VAT)

  • Manage different payment methods and fees separately

  • Filter and sort accounting data by account and outlet

How to add account numbers step by step

  1. Go to Finance
    Log in to the Backoffice and select the Finance menu in the side menu.

  2. Select a category
    Under Finance, you’ll find four tabs where you can add account numbers:

    • VAT

    • Product Categories

    • Payment Methods

    • Fees (used only with online orders)

  3. Enter account number
    Enter the desired account number for each category according to your accounting setup.
    If you have multiple outlets under the same tenant, different account numbers and cost centers can be selected.


FAQ

When creating the product, you must select which product group the product belongs to, and it is the product group that determines which account number the product is linked to.

  • Check that the account numbers in Ancon match your chart of accounts in Fortnox—otherwise, the export may generate error messages and, as a result, not be sent.

You can find the account numbers to use for each VAT category/product group in your accounting software
