Entering an Offset Account

Enter an account in the Offset line to specify the account to use for the offsetting debit or credit from your allocation.

When you enter an offset account, be sure that it conforms to the allocation formula rules for offsetting accounts. Be sure to also follow the account segment cross-validation rules. The validation program does not check for account cross-validation rule violations. If you enter an offset account that violates a cross-validation rule General Ledger creates invalid journal lines when you generate the formula. You must correct the resulting journals in the Enter Journals window before you post.
