 <title>The Financial Account GL Account Type help screen</title>
 <para>The FinAccount Type GL Account (Financial Account Type / GL
  Account Type) is used to specify the default account to be used for a
  specific type of Financial Account. This setup will translate to one
  side of the journal entry only.</para>
 <para>IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a limitation that only one account can
  be specified per Financial Account type. Currently there are 6 types
  of Financial Account (Bank, Deposit, Investment, Gift Certificate,
  Replenish, Service Credit) - so if you have more than one of these
  type of accounts that you need to track separately then there could be
  a problem. </para>
 <para>This mapping is normally be triggered if something is paid or
  uses a Financial Account. Using the demo data this mapping is
  triggered when someone purchases a gift certificate, or pays money
  into a financial account.</para>
