Changing System Accounting Units

You can change the balance sheet and income statement accounting units that the system accounts specified on your chart of accounts are assigned to.

To change a system accounting unit

  1. Access Accounting Units - Accounts (GL20.1) and inquire on any accounting unit within your company.
  2. Click the Sys Acct Unit button on GL20.1 to access System Accounting Units (GL20.6) and select new balance sheet or income statement system accounting units.
    Note: The new system accounting unit must exist in the company.
  3. Suspend processing.
    Note: You must suspend all General Ledger, Allocations, Report Writer, Currency, Budgeting, and Average Daily Balance processing before you run the following rebuild programs. Do not resume processing until you complete this procedure.
    Note: If you find it's necessary to run rebuild programs at any time other than those described in this user guide, contact Global Support for assistance.
  4. Run GLAMOUNTS Rebuild (GL325), Report Currency Rebuild (GL327), Undistributed RE Rebuild (GL330), and Consolidation File Creation (GL320) to update the URE (undistributed retained earnings) and GLCONSOL (for UNIX/Windows) DBGLGCN (for IBMi) balances.
