In the livestock tracker settings page under Account Mapping Type you have the option to select either Single sales & purchase accounts per stock class OR Individual sales & purchase accounts per stock class.

What each of these options mean

Individual sales & purchase accounts per stock class

Each stock class that you enable in the tracker settings will need to have it's own unique set of sales and purchase accounts e.g. Purchases - Beef MA Cows
โ€‹

Single sales & purchase accounts per stock class

You will have one sales account set up in your preferred accounting software for the sale of all your livestock, regardless of the stock class e.g. Purchases - Beef

Troubleshooting

I can't find the right account in the drop down box to map an account

Have you set up an account for this in your preferred accounting software yet? - If you haven't set up an account to map you will need to do this first, then once that account exists, you can run a sync in Figured to pull it through

I have an account setup but I still can't see it in the dropdown box

Have you run a sync in Figured to pull it through? - run a sync in Figured

I've run a sync but I still can't see it in the dropdown box

Head to the account configuration page by heading to Settings > Chart of Accounts and check that the account has the correct Account Type set up - Sales accounts will need to be set as Sale account, and purchase accounts will need to be set as Direct cost account

I still can't find the account in the dropdown box
