Creating Summarized Logic Accounts

By default, a logic account is created for each center in the trial balance. For example, when the Criteria Value field is 12300, the result is a logic account created for each source center that is associated with account 12300.

You can create a logic account that summarizes multiple source centers by, in the Criteria Value field, placing a semicolon after the account name and entering the number that identifies the number of characters to group by.

For example, when the value in the Criteria Value field is 12300;4, the result is a summarized account that includes all source centers that have the same first four characters in the source center name. The source center assigned to account 12300 is the four characters that start at position 1. In addition, when the value in the Criteria Value field is 12300;3;4, the result is a summarized account that includes all source centers that have the same three characters in the source center, starting at position 4. The source center assigned to account 12300 is the three characters that start at position 4.

To create a logic account that summarizes all source centers by, in the Criteria Value field, place a semicolon after the account name and enter a text value. This hard-coded text value becomes the center for the summarized logic account. For example, when the value in the Criteria Value field is 12300;Dept100, then the result is a summarized account that includes all source centers. The source center assigned to account 12300 is Dept100.
