    In the Account type field, select "Expenses"
    In the Detail type field, select "Repair & Maintenance"
    Click the "checkbox" next to Make this a subaccount
    In the Parent account field, select "Maintenance and Repair"
    Here you can see a sample of where this new account will fall in a report.
    Click "Save"
