When enabling “Show account codes” in a balance sheet, it does not do this for accountgroups ---

That is because the primary groups for the balance sheet, _Assets, Liabilities,_ and _Equity_, do not allow codes and cannot be edited. ---

This is not true. And it is also the case in the P&L statement ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/2/9/2946babb9fce12fff1451c22a3b7125c131d63c3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/4/c/4c9206794d41c987914dfde945de439ff2a59e56.png) Balance report: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/4/c/4c9206794d41c987914dfde945de439ff2a59e56.png) P&L ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/d/5/d5c26d0acdce3a995a0031ddaf5cd33a94fc404b.png) You can see that the account codes do now show up for groups. Yet, I was able to set the acount codes, and it fully makes sense to show the codes ---

> [@joris\_manager](#): > > This is not true. Yes it is. For example, you cannot edit the _Assets_ group: ![09%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/1/5/150b4d802e73b3f78a8bddf04bea64324db9c1ad.png) The group you show in your screen shots is not one of the ones I mentioned. It is one you created. For all other groups, the `Code` field is used only to control order of presentation. This is mentioned several places in this Guide: [https://www.manager.io/guides/9181](https://www.manager.io/guides/9181). ---

Fair enough. Not super intuitive. I’d expect code to be a reference for intergrations, and the sort order to not even be visible (some drag/drop ordering). ---
