• Key Concepts: 
  A reserve account is a type of asset account in SAP Business One (SBO) that is used to store funds for future use. It is a non-current asset account, meaning that it is not intended to be used for day-to-day operations. Instead, it is used to store funds for long-term investments or other large purchases.
  
  How to Use It: 
  In SBO, reserve accounts are created and managed in the Chart of Accounts. To create a reserve account, select the “Create New Account” option from the Chart of Accounts menu. Select “Asset” as the account type and then select “Reserve” as the sub-type. Enter the name of the reserve account and any other relevant information. Once the account is created, funds can be transferred into it from other accounts in SBO. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that reserve accounts are not intended to be used for day-to-day operations. They should only be used for long-term investments or other large purchases. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all transactions involving reserve accounts in order to ensure that funds are being used appropriately.
