Revising Account Structures

Access the Account Structure Revisions (Detail) form.

Target Object Account

Enter the object account that the system uses for mapping in multisite consolidations when the target object is different from the source object.

Target Subsidiary

Enter the subsidiary account that the system uses for mapping in multisite consolidations when the target subsidiary is different from the source subsidiary.

Object Account

Enter the portion of a general ledger account that refers to the division of the cost code (for example, labor, materials, and equipment) into subcategories.

Note: If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to 6 digits, you should use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because if you enter 456 the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.

Subsidiary

Enter a subset of the object account. Subsidiary accounts include detailed records of the accounting activity for an object account.

Posting Edit

Enter N in the Posting Edit field for summary accounts. Doing this improves the performance of the Process Consolidations program because the system does not search for account balances during processing.
