How You Create Enterprise Additional Account Attributes

Create additional attributes in the natural account segment to export financial data and generate cash flow statements for all enterprises in China.

The Create Enterprise Additional Account Attributes for China process creates two additional attributes for natural accounts in the chart of accounts: cash-related account and balance side.

  • Use the Cash-Related Account for China attribute to export cash-related journals. While exporting data from the general ledger, cash-related accounts are exported based on the value of this attribute.

  • Use the Balance Side for China attribute to export data from the general ledger. For some accounts the balance side is different from the balance side attribute, therefore, you must set the balance side for these accounts to export data correctly.

You can run this process only once to register the customer value attributes. It's recommended that you run the process before setting up the chart of accounts and enterprise financial data export options for China.

After you create the additional attributes, use the Value Attributes section of the natural accounts attributes page to set the following attribute values:
