Import Cross Reference Accounts



Description of Issue

Is there a way to import cross reference (X-Reference) Accounts into the system?

Can I import cross reference records for existing accounts? 



Context
  • Account X-Reference

  • Account Cross Reference

  • Account Import



Cause

Site is missing cross reference accounts.



Resolution

Cross reference records can be added to existing accounts through Account Import. This functionality requires segments to exist in Chart of Account Segments. If the account record does not exist then the account will be created and x-reference record added, If the account already exists only the x-reference record will be added. 

Account x-reference records can be added though the Account Import program. Go to: 
Financials> General Ledger Menu> Set Up/ Chart of Accounts > Account Import

  1. Select Create Template 

  2. Accept

    1. Ensure that all items are left checked, removing columns at any point will cause errors.
