   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>Financial business
		partner groups are used to establish the link between the accounts payable and
		accounts receivable on the one hand and the general ledger on the other hand.
		For each business partner group you must define a set of <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#LedgerAccoun_tf" role="glossary">ledger accounts</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#Dimension_tf" role="glossary">dimensions</Link> to which the transactions are posted.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In addition, you must define at least one <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#ControAccoun_tf" role="glossary">control account</Link>. The
		received sales invoice amounts and sent purchase invoice amounts are posted to
		this account. When booking <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#CreditNotes_tf" role="glossary">credit notes</Link>, the account is
		credited or debited in the opposite way, depending on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0511m000#tfgld011.cpst" role="manual">Negative Amount for Credit Notes</GUIRef> parameter in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0511m000" role="session">Transaction Types (tfgld0511m000)</GUIRef> session. You can define multiple control accounts, and
		use the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000432" role="glossary">sales types</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000433" role="glossary">purchase types</Link> to post the various types of invoice amounts to different control
		accounts. For details, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000401" role="manual">To set up control accounts</Link>.</Paragraph>
