Understanding Setup for GL Accounts for SPED FCont

You must associate your GL accounts with a government recognized chart of accounts. Depending on your business, you might associate you GL accounts to the chart of accounts from the Secretaria da Receita Federal or the Banco Central do Brasil.

To set up your GL accounts with associations between your GL accounts and the government chart of accounts (referential accounts):

1. Import or manually add the referential accounts.

   You use the Referential Chart of Accounts program (P76B920) to import, manually add, or modify records for the referential chart of accounts. The system saves the referential chart of accounts to the Referential Chart of Account table (F76B920).

2. Import or manually add associations between your GL accounts and the referential accounts.

   You use the Ref Accounts by Account program (P76B926) to import, manually add, or modify the associations. The system calls the Ref Accounts by Account program from the Brazil Account Information program (P76B925). The system saves the data for the associations to the Ref Accounts by Accounts - BR table (F76B926) and Brazilian Account Information table (F76B925).

3. Import or use a global update function to group your accounts by type.

   You use the Brazil Account Information program to assign values from the Account/Group type code (76B/GA) UDC table to your GL accounts. The system saves the account group information to the Brazilian Account Information table (F76B925). The system uses the group type codes to determine which accounts are used for assets, liabilities, and so on.
