Activities

Enter a retained earnings account for each income statement account type.

Further notes

Using income statement account types, you can assign more than one retained earnings account to each chart of accounts. You must assign a retained earnings account to each type used in a chart of accounts. The assigned retained earnings accounts can be identical or different.

The chart of accounts is stored in the master data for the company code.
