Common accounting terms can be abbreviated. To ensure consistency, the following standard abbreviations have been established for Microsoft Dynamics GP. Use the technical abbreviations for resource names; use the display abbreviations for names that will be displayed on the computer screen (in a message or in a window) or in reports.
