# Managing Account Types

> Create, edit, and delete Account Types from the Midaz Module to enforce Ledger structure across your Accounts.

If enabled, you can use Midaz Module to manage Account Types, which classify accounts according to your Organization’s financial structure. Each type defines an Account’s role in the Ledger, enabling accurate transaction routing and consistent validation across categories.

For more details, refer to the **Account Types** section on the [Accounts](/en/midaz/accounts#account-types) page.

### Enabling Account Type validation

You can enable Account Type validation for a specific Ledger directly from the **Lerian Console**, without requiring changes to environment configuration files.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Ledger Settings">
    On the **Ledgers** page, click the three dots (<Icon icon="ellipsis-vertical" />) next to the Ledger and select **Details**. In the sidebar, click the **Settings** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Validate Account Type">
    Toggle on the **Validate Account Type** switch. The change takes effect immediately for the selected Ledger.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Once you have enabled Account Type validation, the Account Type will be a mandatory field when you create a new account under this Ledger.
