Creating account structures

You must create a structure before you can create reconciliation accounts. Use a structure to group the accounts that are reconciled with the same type, level, and currency. You can set up multiple structures but an account can belong to only one structure. The structure determines the dimension level where the accounts are reconciled.
  1. Select Reconciliation Accounts.
  2. On the Structures tab, click Create.
  3. Specify this information:
    Structure
    Specify a name for the account structure.
    Description
    Provide a description.
    Reconciliation Type
    Select a reconciliation type from these options:
    • Account: A reconciliation that is tied to an FSM Global Ledger account.
    • Non Account: A reconciliation that is not tied to an FSM Global Ledger account. Non-accounts are used to import reconciliations from non-Infor applications so that all reconciliations are maintained within the same repository. You can also run detailed transaction reconciliation against two sources of data for non-accounts.
    Reconciliation Level
    Select the level in which all of the accounts within the structure are reconciled. The options vary depending on the defined dimensions within the finance enterprise group.

    You can select any of the defined dimensions to reconcile at a more detailed level. Reconciliations are always done for an entity and account. For example, Entity-Accounting Unit-Account reconciles the account balance for a specific accounting unit for a single entity.

    Reconciliation Currency
    Select a currency for the account structure. The default value is Entity Functional.
    Reporting Basis
    Select the reporting basis, which defines the chart, structures, and ledgers to use to create the reconciliation accounts and its associated ledger balance.
  4. Click Save.
