Example of Creating an Account Alias

There are multiple situations for which you might want to create an account alias. This scenario illustrates an example of one such situation.

Creating an Account Alias for a Temporary Project

Your company has a temporary project for which costs need to be tracked to a particular account. You create an easily-recognizable account alias for the account and have your employees cost the project's transactions to this account alias. You set the account alias to expire when the project ends, so that users cannot cost transactions to this particular project after the project ends.
