Updating accounting unit and resource balances

If you track accounting unit or resource balances in one or more activity groups, use this procedure to update accounting unit and resource balances in activities.

Note: Accounting unit and resource balances are not available for reports, inquiries, or the activity data mart until you run Accounting Unit Balance Post (AC191) or run Activity Posting (AC190) with the Post Acct Unit Balances field set to Yes.

This diagram shows how to update accounting unit and resource balances:
