Copy G/L Accounts

Use the Copy G/L Accounts screen 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.

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

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

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

These accounts are not copied when using this function:

  • Deactivated general ledger accounts

  • Distribution accounts

  • Alias accounts

  • Corresponding accounts (such as inventory accrual accounts)

Field Description
Company The company that the general ledgers accounts are copied From/To.
Division The division of the company that the general ledger accounts are copied From/To.
Cost Center The cost center that the accounts are copied From/To. Select Blank if you do not want to copy the cost center.
