Copy G/L Accounts

To open the Copy G/L Accounts screen, click the Copy G/L Accounts link on the Utilities screen and enter the appropriate password on the Password screen.

Note:  The Copy G/L Accounts link will only appear if the Allow GL Copy switch is activated on the Authorization List for WebAdmin screen.

Note:  If you do not have the appropriate password, contact your system administrator.

The Copy G/L Accounts screen allows you to copy the charts of accounts (ACCMAST and COACMAST file records) from one company/division to another company/division, or to create a new cost center in an existing division.

Note:  Copied accounts will have a balance of zero and no table settings associated to the original account will be copied (ie. month end dates are not copied as part of this function).

Note:  If you are copying an account within the same company, only the COACMAST file records will be copied over (as the ACCMAST records will already exist.)

Note:  The following accounts will not be copied when using this function:
- Deactivated general ledger accounts
- Distribution accounts
- Alias accounts
- Corresponding accounts, (such as inventory accrual accounts)

The following fields appear on the Copy G/L Accounts screen:

Division The division of the company that the general ledger accounts will be copied From/ To.
Cost Center
