G/L Accounts — Rollup tab
This tab lets you:
-
Create relationships between accounts that can be used for classification, budgeting, and reporting.
-
Creating a relationship between accounts lets you consolidate (rollup) account balances (and quantities, if applicable) to provide a summary balance similar to the consolidation options provided in Financial Reporter.
-
Change a rollup account to a non-rollup account (by clearing the Rollup option on the Details tab for that account).
Cautions
You should be aware of the following rollup cautions when creating rollup groups:
-
A parent account cannot be a child of itself. That is, when you create a rollup group, you cannot add the top account as a member of the same group.
-
New accounts do not get added automatically to existing rollup groups.
-
When you prohibit posting to a rollup account, you can still post to that account in other ledgers (A/R, A/P etc), but not in G/L.
-
Be aware that if a user is granted security rights to view a parent account, they also will be able to view the member accounts in the group.
-
An account can be a member of more than one rollup group.
-
Be careful how you set up the rollup groups so as to avoid double-balances in reports.
