Site Account Configuration
Within Cinchio Back Office, the Site Accounts section is used to manage accounts required at site level, typically as part of the Revenue Management module for holding cash and deposit reconciliation.
Before being created as a Site Account against each site, a parent account must first be created within the company Chart Of Accounts.
Creating Site Accounts

- Select [CREATE SITE ACCOUNT] against the relevant site(s) to create for individual sites.

Note that if the [CREATE SITE ACCOUNT]is not shown against a site, the site already has a site account associated with this chart account.
