Template Subaccount Definition (GL02.3)

Use Template Subaccount Definition (GL02.3) to assign subaccounts to a summary and detail account using a subaccount template.

Processing Effect

The template must exist in Subaccount Template (GL13.1). When you assign a subaccount template, changes are reflected in your chart of accounts. You can also view changes in Detail Subaccount Definition (GL02.1).

For example, you create a template called Assets Subaccounts in GL13.1 and include all possible subaccount numbers that may be needed for an Asset summary account. You can then assign that template in GL02.3 to make all possible Asset subaccounts valid for a detail account within the Assets summary account.

If you change a subaccount template you previously assigned to a summary and detail account, you must re-assign the template to that summary and detail account to update your chart of accounts. If you modify subaccounts directly in your chart of accounts, and then assign a subaccount template, only new subaccounts defined in the template are added to your chart of accounts.
