Working with Chart of Accounts (WCA)
Purpose: Use the Chart of Accounts function to add or maintain chart of accounts and their descriptions.
The Chart of Accounts is comprised of entities, divisions, and general ledger account numbers. You need to create records in the Chart of Accounts table in order for information to post to the General Ledger Interface table.
Generating charts of accounts: You can use the Generate Chart of Accounts (GCOA) option to generate a chart of account record for every possible combination of entity, division, and general ledger number in your company that does not already exist.
