Define Import Specifications - the Distribute Accounts Tab

In this tab you can define how to copy one particular value in the import file to several accounts.

By stating from which account the value should be copied and if necessary by what factor the value should be multiplied, you can copy the values of previously loaded accounts to one or more other accounts. Factor -1 is used to change the sign of a value being copied from one account to another.

Procedure

  1. On the Transfer menu, click External Data/Define Import Specification. The Define Import Specification window opens.
  2. In the Specification list box, select the specification you want to change, or click the New button and enter a new name and press Enter.
  3. On the Distribute Accounts tab, in the Source Account column, enter the account code from which to copy values.
  4. In the Target Account column, enter the account code to which the value should be copied.
  5. In the Factor column, enter 1 for copying the value with the same sign or -1 to reverse the sign.
