Sample Accounts

Sample accounts and the data transfer rules determine which field values are specified when creating a G/L account master record and whether these values can be overwritten.

This activity includes all settings that are necessary when using sample accounts. This includes:

With the data transfer rules, you specify which values are transferred from the sample account to the G/L account master record and whether they may be overwritten later. These rules also take effect when changing a G/L account.
The sample account contains the values that are to be transferred when creating the G/L account master record in the company code.

Note

The use of sample accounts is optional. The following sections are therefore only relevant if you do use sample accounts. Sample accounts are useful if you work with several company codes and want to specify values for master record fields centrally.

Standard settings

The standard system does not include sample accounts and data transfer rules.
