Publish an Account Hierarchy

Publish an account hierarchy to finalize a new or edited account hierarchy. Account hierarchies organize data and enable the creation of groups and rollups of information that exist within an organization.

After creating or editing an accounting hierarchy, run the Publish Account Hierarchies, Maintain GL Value Sets, and Maintain Chart of Account Hierarchies processes before using the new or changed account hierarchy.
