Understanding Balancing Account Type Rules
Balancing account type rules define which accounts within the consolidation ledger are used to determine if the ledger is balanced. When you define a balancing account type rule, you include a row for each account type that should balance. Balancing account type rules are set up differently depending on the format of the consolidation ledger template for which they will be used:
Financial statement format ledger templates typically include only balance forward account types in the balancing account type rule.
Trial balance format ledger templates typically include both non-balance forward and balance forward account types in the balancing account type rule.
Note: Memo accounts are not typically included in a balancing account type rule.
