Assigning Accounts

Use

The accounts that you want to display under each item can be specified at the end of each hierarchy level in the financial statement version.

Note Note

You can also assign functional areas to an item instead of accounts. To do this, set the indicator Functional area permitted on the general data screen.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

The item under which the accounts are to appear must already have been created. See Creating Items .

Procedure

To assign accounts to an item, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the required item and choose Assign accounts .

  2. Enter the account number or account interval.

Note Note

If you did not enter a chart of accounts in the general section, you must enter the chart of accounts from which the accounts of the account range were taken.

End of the note.

  • Account intervals

You can enter an account interval under From acct and To acct . If you enter the same account number in both fields, only this account is assigned.

In order to avoid newly created G/L accounts not being assigned to an item, you should always enter account intervals.

  • Debit/credit indicators

With the debit/credit indicator you specify that the account is to be displayed depending on its balance. If you select both indicators, the account is always shown under this item.

You can assign an account to two items. Depending on the balance, the account is listed under the item for which the debit or credit indicator is selected. For further information, see Defining the Debit/Credit Shift .

Accounts 113100, 113110, and 113120 are bank accounts. You assign them to the asset item "Cash in bank" if they have a debit balance, and to the liability item "Payable to banks" if they have a credit balance. Thus, if accounts 113100 and 113120 have a debit balance but account 113110 has a credit balance when the financial statements are created, 113100 and 113120 are assigned to "Cash in bank" and 113110 to "Payable to banks". The deciding factor in each case is the balance of the individual account.
