Adding an account

  1. In the upper-left corner of the screen, select Access your applications ().
    The menu expands.

  2. Select Setup > Financial > Accounts.
    The Accounts screen appears.

  1. Select Add Row.
    A new row appears at the top of the table.

  2. In the Code column, enter a unique identifier for the account.

  3. In the Description column, enter a description of the account.

  4. In the Interface Action column, select one of the options.
    These options address how the software interfaces with your accounting system:

    • None—Allows the entry to be accepted as it is entered. No changes are made to imported values. For example, if you enter a positive number, it will appear as a positive number. Select this option if your accounting system does not use debits or credits.

    • Reverse—Indicates that the entry should appear as the opposite of how it is entered.

      If your accounting system uses debits and credits, revenues appear as negative values. Selecting Reverse ensures the following:

      • When the software exports a positive value, your accounting system will receive the expected negative value.
      • When the software receives (via import) a negative value, we process the value as a positive value.

    • Skip—Ignore during interface (both imports and exports).

    • Units—Indicates a unit account (rather than a cost account).

  5. (Optional) In the Offset Account column, select an account that is used to offset the selected account.

  6. (Optional) In the Re-map Account column, choose whether to associate imported data with a different account than the one with which it was imported.

  7. (Optional) If you are using an EPEP account, in the EPEP Interface Action selection one of the options. (The options are identical to Interface Action options in step 6.)

  8. In the Active column, select the check box to activate the account. 
    The account is added to the table.
